Will CH run in the CH?

buckley might still say no, also depends upon whether the horse might have picked up a knock, so they may delay but they have a duty to say where they are at and he might come out this afternoon with a statement

Only an escapee from a Secure Unit or an insider would put £77 @ 17 and drifting

hope the horse is ok but would expect a much bigger drift if it was bad so assume it was just not a good morning

hendo,s yard just cant help themselves pinching chips of the tramps in the park on the back of a boit of inside info

He’s probably not the only one tbf……punters = fodder or worse as far as jockeys and trainers go….

Correct decision

racing is rancid LUCKY on live t6v basically telling you he no,e the answer to an active market butr he,s not telling the public till its official, HENDO and is yard are bent from top to toe

Thought he was schooling tomorrow?

Yes, he'd knew. Drift much today ?

At least we won't have to put up with this nonsense going forward, no chance he runs over hurdles again

they initially said thurs penz then a day or so back it switched to weds

or at least said weds, you never know for sure

Cheers.

Was about 4/1 on here,now 200.

yes, henderson has gone public now

Announced NOTrunning in ch

Hendo confirms he's run his last race over hurdles, that's all folks

'acey' was correct. He was emphatic that CH would not be running in the Champion Hurdle next month.The bookies won again. All the pathetic statements by Hendo had allowed his sponsor to "nick" money off the naive and uninformed supporters of Constitution Hill.

It was never a starter post his falls over a short period of time since the last Festival.

Implausible praising the "Guesser" Acey who didn't back his opinion.
Thick as a Donkeys Dangler as usual.

Thankfully you took a nice few quid out of it impossible so not only did the bookies win again you also did.

Happy that the horse wont be running at the festival...

what a circus it would have been with breath being held by the whole crowd both at the track
and at home every time CH left the ground.

now, lets see just how good he is (on the flat).

Agree 100% aberdonia..

Imagine the gravy train ITV……

Bit of a flat ending to the story.

I really hope he runs but the horse is a shadow of his former self ffs.......You people getting excited aboUt fack all....Proper Mugs the lot of ye lmfaro.

Best Hurdler in my Lifetime but dem Days long gawn ffs.

Horse won't know what hit him. This race is all wrong for him on so many fronts.

slickster 19 Feb 26 10:28
The race is tomorrow frico not today. Plenty of time to decide how to play it. Mr Henderson and Buckley should retire him. Too old for the flat.

acey deucy 20 Feb 26 09:17
He would lap this lot in his Pomp but like i have said he is a shadow of his former self....Lay like yer life depends oan it lads and dont forget tay thank me.

acey deucy 20 Feb 26 12:20
Drifted to 9-4.....Acey moves Markets.....Keep hittin that lay button lads

I did not profit from his non-participation. I'd have 'lay' him on the day of the race had he shown up. And, I'd be glad (even) to lose if he'd won.

It was never going to happen yet Hendo chose to string along those naive and sentimental to profit his bookie friends.

aye,,the silleekhúnt moved Morpeth market to Ashington.

The sub 4.0 CHCH backers got carried away. Right decision not to run.

Well looky here....That is a surprise.

The right decision for the Horse

You fackers no SFA.

Just been sent this photo from this morning's schooling session...apparently this was his reaction when he saw Nico approaching...

Just glad it has been settled.

Back to normal for a while.

announced he'll be at chelt on the tuesday

Impossible with you saying it was never a starter I’m surprised you was waiting for the day to lay him

Implausible and Acey.
The clueless and the potless

'jimnast', I'm a backer. I do not even 'lay' a 'lazy or naive player here' on a declared non-runner knowingly. To me that is fraud. It's a personal thing.

As for CH, laying him on the day of the race is a personal disgust against Hendo.

Wan arse cheek pops up you can bet yer bottom dollar the other cheek wull be right behind.

You and Implausible have just confirmed that,Acey

acey isn't anywhere near planet impossible

Nobody could be,elise but Acey set himself up for that with his 3.20pm post

Impossible

If someone had a strong view a horse would be a non runner in an anti post race and layed it that is not fraud it’s backing an opinion.

I do understand. I've only backed to win. However, I've 'lay' to be 'green' after backing sometimes in in-running.

Fair play you’ve beaten me

Next years National the Target ,will have nee probs jumping round aintree

Doubtful to win on the flat unless they go back to the AW…..

Ascot,Sandown and the likes will be very difficult…..imo.

It will be fascinating to see how his flat campaign works out.

I say well done to connections - I think it's the right decision as CH appears to have the equine version of the 'yips' over jumps, in my view.

Correct decision considering they wouldn’t change the rider…..

But 9 year old starting a flat campaign…..dream on…..

Which race ? And what big yards will have the ammunition against him ,unlike the dross at Southwell……

even before we nah what race?  dave give it up son ya fckn tatey.

What race will he be aimed at ?

A million to lift a group race imv…..

no need , impossible has already earmarked it for the arc, stand by your beds

Sagaro ?

Gordon Richards ?

Princess of wales ?

You honestly think he will lift one of these ?

Ebor…..

Aussie land….Deary me….

Of course,CH has never won on turf has it

Betfair have not identified the individual that has asked for Constitution Hill to be added to the Oaks & Derby markets for this year, but have requested that his carer should ensure he's not left alone with a laptop

I would have said he had a long career ahead of him opening betting shops but sadly he's 30 years too late for that gig and even so he'd have to get up very early in the morning in order to beat Thommo to the gig which would be another hurdle difficult to negotiate.

Typical answer from the scrap merchant….

Personally i would target the Irish Leger…..although Coolmore could have an endless list…..

Very interesting year ahead for the good horse…..

But as ever with his posts, an ambiguous load of monosyllabic tosh from F4rty. The only thing articulated about him is the lorries he used to drive - and he's too lazy/ignorant to give the name of the horse, the time or the meeting.

A totally accurate assessment of the Two Bobber

Anyoldiron……chuckle every time tbh….

Christianed by fred…..

"Failed Lorry Driver"as well as failed punter

Keep trying Harold lol

Superb.

Just as well Aidan and JP didn't send Istabraq back to the flat after falling. A true great of course, unlike a horse who's only won the CH once.

What would the decision have been 20 years ago without social media?
Will be interesting to see what decision is made re Sir Gino, given his woes have been much more grave.

The horse would be in the line up.

Istabraq would be getting over 2 stone from Constitution Hill according to Timeform ratings.

Don't know anyone who thinks Timeform are in any way relevant to their punting. Just another person's opinion. This rating Just proves the point even further. Jamie Lynch the top man says it all.

If that Mullins' rag could win in America I think CH could win a very decent race abroad too. I might even back him as long as Hendo does not shout from the rafters about his well-being.

Give it a rest, you’re exceedingly boring.

He is also thicker than a donkeys dangler,saxon but with sensitivity of a Rhino

and during this time yard sponsor Unibet are taking bets on Constitution for Champion Hurdle with a non runner youve done yer dough.

So is it running or not ?

Glad that they haven’t gone with Adell and gone back to hurdles, I thought that she loved horses, her logic for going to Chelts was pocket talk perhaps?!

I.e, that the Champion Hurdle looks a weak race, well what is so frightening about the stayers division on the flat?

It's easy to be brave on behalf of other people.

Agree when there’s no direct comeback should the worst happen.

There’s plenty of races to be had ago at, we had tiny fields all of last year (Burkes Al Qeem bullying from the front over and over), stayers races in France were much the same (weak) , CH is one race and the horse is more important than that.
The Gold Cup at Ascot doesn’t even have to be a factor.

The horse enjoyed running again and Adelle suggested holding him up out the back at Chelts but that’s what destroyed him by taking him in behind horses.

I remember the first time I saw him run at Ascot or Kempton he was just bowling along, Murphy confirmed he has an engine, win or lose there’s nothing lost as he’s getting on but seeing him win was great!

Listen and listen good.....There is not a snowballs chance in hell that C.H will run in The Champion Hurdle Whe it comes to the crunch Henderson and the owner will realise that there is just to much to lose.Reputation respect it all goes out the window if the worst was to happen.......Now come back and say Acey was right when you hear he will not ever jump another obstacle in public.

Credit where it is due lads i think Acey deserves a wee pat oan the back fur calling this wan.

Your reasoning is entirely correct AD good to see that there is still a thing as common sense still around, his last race and fall were on the 29th November.
You posted this view on the 24th Feb?

The way Hendo spun it solely for the benefit of the bookies was disgraceful and disingenuous. As 'acey' emphatically stated there was not a chance in hell CH would run over hurdles post his series of falls.

Yet,implausible also did not profit from his opinion

How many months did it take Acey to form that opinion?! Conversely how many races did Constitution miss in that?

He won't but it looks luke Lossiemouth will finally get her chance.

Hope they retire Constitution Hill…….soon !

Just a 103 RPR on Flat debut with more to come on Turf. But yeah OK form!

Can’t bare the thought of all the hype this coming flat season for a NH 9 year old tbh….

I wish the big horse well …..

The thought of the gravy train……

The usual nonsense from the Two Bobber

God greif it’s anyoldiron…..

Prowling and watching….

Just ignore and get back to basics....the enjoyment of watching a good horse in good races

There are a few big plans in the offing but has it been considered if the John Porter or whereever he turns up ends up being a damp squib, obviously not anywhere near comparable to watching something go amiss in the Champion, but in it's own way, watching him get run over by younger flat horses in it's own way will still be a sad sight, wouldn't imagine they'd persist for too long if/when reality bites.

Who knows what CH might achieve but is entirely the Owner's decision

Of course, what I could see happening, and I wouldn't rule it out, is, and I fully accept he could be a star on the flat, if the flat venture doesn't work and they are left stranded and we start to hear, well, we might try him back over hurdles again, we never said he's finished forever, blah blah...could see that.

The fear of the "Pinko" Animal rights bleeding hearts seem to have already put paid to that venture,duffy

Maybe, but that's with the backdrop of the flat holding new glories for the horse, let's see what happens if the flat doesn't work out.

I rather enjoyed the Nicky Henderson/Willie Mullins sections.
