Multiple Grade One-winning superstar Shishkin has died after fracturing a leg on the eve of an intended trip to the Punchestown Festival, trainer Nicky Henderson has confirmed.

The 10-year-old, who will be best remembered for winning an epic Clarence House Chase clash with Energumene at Ascot in 2022, was being prepared to fly to Ireland where he was due to feature in the Punchestown Gold Cup on Wednesday.

In a statement on X on Sunday evening, Henderson said: «Tragically we have lost Shishkin this evening after he got cast in his stable and fractured his hind leg.

«Everyone involved with Seven Barrows, particularly his owners, Joe and Marie Donnelly, Jaydon, Nico and George are obviously devastated that such a great horse, friend and warrior has gone.

«He was due to leave for Punchestown tomorrrow morning but sadly this is now not to be.

«He was an absolute superstar and his CV is testament to that — except the King George is not in it even though we believe it should have been.

«The Supreme Novice Hurdle and the Arkle were his Cheltenham highlights, but the battle with Energumene in the Clarence House at Ascot was probably his greatest.

«This is a very sad night. He was our star and we will never forget him. Thank you Shishkin for the wonderful memories.»

«It was horrendous to be honest with you, he just didn’t deserve that,» Henderson told Sky Sports Racing. «There was nothing we could do. We had an army of vets and the best people in the world but they couldn’t repair it, I’m afraid.

«It’s just tragic, but everyone has been quite remarkable and you just have to appreciate how popular a horse can become.»

Henderson nominated his 12-length Arkle victory as a particular highlight, but rated his epic battle with Energumene as the peak of Shishkin’s career.

He said: «He won six Grade Ones, it should have been seven, as he should have won the King George really and I believe he would have done.

«One of his greatest days was when he won the Arkle at Cheltenham, he was brilliant, but that match with Energumene at Ascot in the Clarence House was probably his greatest race, because he had to fight very hard that day.

«We were all set for Cheltenham and he couldn’t go there, we were just really looking forward to Punchestown and he was due to leave this morning.

«He was a beautiful horse, earlier in the season we sent him off to Zara Tindall to do some dressage to keep him amused and they adored him over there too — he could have done anything.

«He was lovely, he was a very gentle person too — he was very kind.»
