Constitution Hill is just brilliant. Such a chill horse, before, during and after! What a horse!

And to see him ambling into the paddock!
On the opening show they showed him by at home and he seems to spend most of the time asleep

Michael Buckley looks really unwell. Does anyone know why he was in hospital yesterday?

Well if they don’t let him go fencing now I shall be disappointed! He could a gold cup and a grand National doing handstands I reckon!

Why are they so keen to go chasing with CH? Surely he's so dominant over hurdles why not stay doing that until he's defeated then maybe try a different sphere?

I maybe missed the interview, did the team say they wanted to or was it the ‘punters’? ( hate that term).

Yeah his face is quite unique! It also shows you that you can find value if you look in the right places. He cost £17000 because he was a late starter and went to sales as a 6yo. If he had been 5yo he would have been £77000.

Does anyone know if Malinello was okay after his heavy fall in the 5.30? I looked on Twitter and all I can find are antis saying he’s dead because the screens went up 
I’m hoping he’s just winded

Love how LR's staff always undo the noseband asap, certain other successful yards seem to neglect it completely

the owner is keen I think to do a Dawn run. No reason not to at least try. It brings a bit of excitement to the game. Can’t wait!

I wrote to the jockey club about NH’s lot not loosening the nose bands after a heavy race, I said it was a welfare problem as they couldn’t drink because the nose bands were done up so tight. Never got a proper reply but at least I made my point. It really bugs me as it would take 2 seconds

They usually stay on and stay tight until the horse is walked off and back in it'd stable...
We always undo them as soon as we get to the horse. The odd horse throws its head about like a twit so we leave it as we are walking and undo it as soon we stop to let the Jockey off. I either loosen mine or take it off completely as it both looks better for pictures and doesn't annoy them with it flapping about
