    • Would be good to hear more from the CEO of HRNZ as to how harness is going financially at the moment! Would also be good to hear from him about how he sees things in 2 years time when Entain pulls the plug on subsidising harness racing! Watched a video at the weekend and a well known trainer saying how well things are going for harness since Entain got involved! It is very hard to understand how so many believe that harness racing is going to continue to function the way it is? These people clearly have very little financial literacy unless they can explain to us where the money is going to be coming from when the cash splash finishes? The North Island racing is clearly stuffed and can not continue to prop it up the way they are doing, but hey everything is positive?   
    • Owner Michael Buckley is dreaming big regarding Flat targets for Constitution Hill (Blue Bresil), after the nine-year-old trotted up an imperious winner at Southwell on Friday. Although Buckley and trainer Nicky Henderson have yet to make a decision on the gelding's Champion Hurdle participation, several big Flat targets are being discussed at the moment. The two-mile G1 Melbourne Cop is under consideration. Buckley told Nick Luck on Racing TV's Luck On Sunday programme, “I did say to Nicky 'can we agree on one thing, whatever we decide about Cheltenham, let's for the rest of this year concentrate on a Flat campaign'. “For me, if he doesn't run [in the Champion Hurdle], I don't see him running over hurdles again this year – that's 2026. “But if he ran and let's say he fell – and God forbid he does that – he would never run over hurdles again ever. If he ran and won it would be a hell of a swansong [over obstacles] and it would put a few demons to bed for me, I've got to say. “I think the horse should be running around about the end of August or beginning of September, either in the Ebor [at York], or there's a race at Goodwood, or in the Irish St Leger, with a view to going to Melbourne. “If you were asking me what I'd like to do, that is what I'd like to aim at.” Henderson said on Saturday that Constitution Hill would be schooled again in the coming days under the guidance of jumping guru Yogi Breisner. A final call on whether Constitution Hill will head to the Cheltenham Festival will be made in a fortnight's time. “The horse is going to do this schooling this week. I said to Nicky on Saturday, and it's the third weekend in a row that I've done so, if you could make a decision now, by yourself, what would you do – and you go round and round in circles and you never get an answer to anything, bless him. “I know how he feels We are both decent people I think and we certainly care like hell about our horses. We don't want to see the horse fall or do something that threatens his very existence and we certainly [don't] want to do something that hurts Nico [de Boinville]. “We don't want to do something that disappoints everybody, most of all ourselves, but on the other hand you can see how much the horse is loved and people would like to see him run.” The post Buckley Dreaming Of Melbourne Cup For Constitution Hill appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
