Constitution Hill Career Form And Notable Achievements

Constitution Hill has won all seven of his career races to date, with six of those coming at Grade 1 level. He is widely regarded as one of the best hurdlers of all time, having won his seven races by a combined 89 lengths. Having won by 14 lengths on hurdles debut, he was pitched straight into Grade 1 company in the Tolworth Novices’ Hurdle, where he easily dispatched of the field to win by 12 lengths. He was then sent off as joint-favourite in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at the 2022 Cheltenham Festival, where he put in a devastating performance to smash the track record.

He returned for the 2022/2023 jumps season with two comfortable victories in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle (Newcastle) and the Christmas Hurdle (Kempton), before landing a second Cheltenham Festival win, this time in the Champion Hurdle. Less than a month later he signed off for the season by stepping up in trip to win the Aintree Hurdle in his usual effortless fashion.
