Constitution Hill went to Milan for a race without hurdles, but his jumping career is still central to the conversation. The 2023 Champion Hurdle winner finished fifth in the Gran Premio del Jockey Club, with Stingray taking the victory, according to Racing TV's separate race recap.
The channel's live coverage attracted nearly 30,000 views in nine hours, already well beyond its usual full-day audience for regular videos. The comments were unusually busy, too, with retirement and a return to hurdles recurring among viewers' suggestions. Those are competing wishes from the audience, not an announced plan for the horse.
For a horse known for Cheltenham, this was a different assignment: a mile and a half on the Flat at San Siro. The field included William Haggas' Dubai Honour, identified as the favorite by the broadcast's English-language commentator, alongside Chestnut Rocket, Silawi and Andrew Balding's Venetian Prince.
Anyone opening the live upload for Constitution Hill should expect some ceremony before the main attraction. It begins with the finish of another race and the Premio Ribot trophy presentations, including awards for Crownboard's trainer Jane Chapple-Hyam and jockey Marco Ghiani. The Gran Premio horses come onto the course around thirteen minutes in; the English-language introduction to Dubai Honour and Constitution Hill follows as they head toward the starting gates.
