CONSTITUTION HILL WINS ON FLAT DEBUT 🏆 A commanding win in the SBK Road To Cheltenham Novice Stakes under Oisín Murphy for Nicky Henderson & Michael Buckley 👏 Look at the wait for the second 🤯

@oismurphy I normally dont get emotional but that brought a tear in my eyes. Superb horse

@oismurphy Oisin Murphy with 3 furlongs to go 🤣🤣

@oismurphy What a horse! I wouldn't ever tell Nicky Henderson what to do but surely you go for the big flat races now instead of risking him over a hurdle? The next fall could be the last.

@oismurphy Racing needed that 💚

@oismurphy Square Necker, Daddy Long Legs and Gambino all brought established Flat Paceform Figures into this — so it was no soft introduction for Constitution Hill on paper. When ability is truly exceptional, it can exceed what’s already measurable on the page.

@oismurphy Wonderful to see Con Hill enjoying himself!

@oismurphy Never in my Life heard roars like that at Southwell

@oismurphy The main thing I think this should show the people that run racing is that the horses are what makes the sport and they should focus more on getting the horses front and centre of coverage not just come and get coked up with your mates.

@oismurphy So pleased for the horse, he deserved that after what he’s been through. I appreciate he’s 9, but on that performance he has to stay on the flat. Not fair on him to put him back over hurdles.

@oismurphy Imagine the frustration that Nicky must feel. Knowing this horse would win the Champion Hurdle without breaking sweat if he could jump 😭 very difficult decision to make I think because I'm not sure you'd want him on summer ground on the flat either. What a brilliant horse.

@oismurphy If he went to Cheltenham and God forbid in went horribly wrong they'd never be allowed forget it.. Flat campaign going forward I'd think

@oismurphy So much for Meg and Adele writing him off before the race...9 year old, no prior exp etc etc

@oismurphy That was brilliant. Seems a happier horse on the Flat and if it was up to us we would aim him at the Ascot Gold Cup but it was great confidence booster 👏

@oismurphy Surely the Brigadier Gerard and/or the Coronation Cup await this magnificent animal. Why would they risk him over hurdles. And yes, I'm talking through my pocket. Class is permanent.

@oismurphy Keep him on the flat/bumpers. Still so much more to give, I wouldn't risk sending him hurdling again. Top top performance

@oismurphy Melbourne Cup? #constitutionhill

@oismurphy Don't normally get emotional watching a race on the all weather but that was so good to see. Keep him away from the hurdles lads, he can do remarkable things at Ascot without risking his life.

@oismurphy @oismurphy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@oismurphy Constitution Hill should be allowed to enjoy the rest of his career competing on the flat , there’s still lot of enjoyment to be had for everyone involved and it would be in the horse’s best interests at this stage of life.

@oismurphy How about Henry II stakes at Sandown? Constitution Hill

@oismurphy What a day for racing 🤩 some horse that

@oismurphy Get it right itv racing listen it's suvaall not Southwell suvaall ok got it

@oismurphy Wonderful scenes

@oismurphy If he wins the champion hurdle has the feel of Tiger Woods 19 masters win just great to watch this tonight Relaxed composed and meant to be Sport at its finest

@oismurphy Why would he go for the Champion hurdle, Ascot Gold Cup that horse is sheer class if he goes to the Champion hurdle there's only one jockey to ride him OISIN MURPHY on he's not a jockey he's a horseman. go for the Champion hurdle with him.

@oismurphy Two legends putting the race to bed!

@oismurphy

@oismurphy Should run champion hurdle see how goes if not go well run on flat

@oismurphy What a champion

@oismurphy Brilliant Oisin. Well done.

@oismurphy Keep him on the flat … no more falling over hurdles

@oismurphy Fantastic interview by @LeonnaMayor post race too.
