      Constitution Hill Eyes Southwell For Flat Bow Ahead Of Champion Hurdle

      By Wandering Eyes · Posted

      Former champion hurdler Constitution Hill could be seen in action in a new £40,000 1 1/2-mile novice Flat contest at Southwell on February 20, according to trainer Nicky Henderson. A faller for the third time in four trips to the post since his race in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle in November, the son of Blue Bresil will hopefully receive a confidence boost in this new endeavour ahead of a try at the Champion Hurdle later this year. Part of the Friday Night Live series, the new race meets the criteria required for Henderson's star pupil. It will be the joint most valuable novice ever run on the all-weather and will be sponsored by SBK bookmakers. Sam Cone, head of communications and public affairs at Arena Racing Company (ARC), owners of Southwell, said, “We are delighted to assist in the delivery of this opportunity and are grateful to SBK, without whom it would not be possible. “The race should certainly add an extra dimension to the Friday Night Live fixture at Southwell on February 20, to those coming along to experience the evening in person as well as those watching at home on ITV Racing and Sky Sports Racing.” Adam Baylis, marketing director of SBK said, “Supporting British racing is massively important to us at SBK, so when Nicky Henderson spoke about the need for a Flat race with these conditions for Constitution Hill, we took the idea to ARC. We're delighted to have been able to help make it happen and it's a great boost to the Friday Night Live series.” The post Constitution Hill Eyes Southwell For Flat Bow Ahead Of Champion Hurdle appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Out of listed-winning two-year-old Ritournelle (Camelot), the bay colt was born at Coolmore. City Of Troy commands €60,000 this year. Said Coolmore's Eddie Fitzpatrick, “He's a very good first foal. A quality colt with scope and strength; a great start for both the mare and the stallion.” The post Auguste Rodin And City Of Troy Sire First Reported Foals appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
