Shishkin’s Top Three Moments on the Track

Shishkin showed flashes of talent but was a market drifter on race day, appearing to be the second choice behind Asterion Forlonge. Despite facing challenges during the race, including being caught up in trouble caused by a faller, he managed to haul himself into contention and ultimately secure a heroic victory.

Energumene’s absence from the race left the path clear for Shishkin, and he delivered a flawless performance, earning comparisons to greats like Sprinter Sacre and Altior. He dominated the race, pulling away from his rivals with ease and finishing with a 12-length advantage at the line.

In a four-runner contest at the Cheltenham Festival, Shishkin and Energumene engaged in an epic head-to-head battle. Despite coming under pressure on the turn, Shishkin displayed class and determination, surging past Energumene in the final stretch to secure the win and extend his unbeaten chase run to seven.

The sporting world praised Shishkin’s stunning performance, recognizing it as his greatest and cementing his legacy as a remarkable winner.
