Whoop whoop Galopin Des Champs. Some long priced winners yesterday and looks excellent racing.

Yesterday was weird, all the stars not performing and I was worried about today, but I shouldn’t have, what a horse

Lovely article thank you for posting. It’s going to be a tense watch

Any predictions ?

No!

 

[bonny]

No!

I think he’s going to win

 

[Mimsyborogrove]

I think he’s going to win

Constitution hill? I’d like him to win …

 

[Clodagh]

I’ve gone each way on Golden Ace because she’s just great. I very much hope CH runs well and safely.
I just had a bet on Funicule Funicula, my Dad loved that music and had it at his funeral.

 

[Maddie Moo]

I’d like either CH or Golden Ace.

 

[bonny]

On looks, State Man has it ?

 

[Clodagh]

CH really overjumping

 

[humblepie]

Let us know what’s happening

 

[Clodagh]

Woo hoo! That’s some prize money for GA!
Sad CH looked awful.

 

[Clodagh]

£60000 (euros). For second. Love that mare!

 

[bonny]

State man is a champion

 

[Maddie Moo]

State Man an impressive winner! Golden Ace got second, CH weakened tamely in the straight.

Wonder if they will retire him or see how he comes back into training next season?

 

[Clodagh]

State man won

 

[humblepie]

thank you all. Well done Jeremy Scott and team. Fab that Stateman back. Sad for CH.

 

[Kadastorm]

I hope they retire CH. he has been a great servant to them all and he is such a kind soul, I would love for him to have a second job and enjoy life.

 

[Clodagh]

Crashing to the ground, like he has the last two races, can’t fill him with confidence. I hope he can be retired, but maybe they’ll try a refresh.

Gosh just seen either Willie or Emmet Mullins trained every winner today other than the hunter chase.

Not much else he could say really, he must be very disappointed

Stewards report for CH;

103E Boodles Champion H'dle
The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Constitution Hill (GB), trained by Nicky Henderson (in GB), at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to have grazes to his right hind cannon bone and to be sore post race.

J. Bowen, rider of Constitution Hill (GB), trained by Nicky Henderson (in GB), reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount stopped quickly.

‘The animal’ honestly ! Hope he’s all okay today.

Very pleased to see Danny and Willie Mullins team up to win the 4m chase today, 2 years after the pairing won it with my horse (who seemed happy enough to be pootling round arena eventing today with a middle aged lady on board).
