Nicky Henderson pulls Constitution Hill from £650,000 race after trainer admitted ‘something has gone wrong'
NICKY HENDERSON has pulled Constitution Hill out of a £650,000 race - after he admitted 'something has gone wrong' following his disastrous end to the season. The former Supreme and Champion Hurdle superstar fell at Cheltenham and Aintree. 1 And he was humbled by old rival State Man in the Boodles Champion Hurdle at Punchestown earlier this month. A Christmas Hurdle win over Lossiemouth - when Willie Mullins' mare ran well below par - was the only bright spot in an otherwise horrific season. And the blows kept on coming as Henderson officially scratched Constitution Hill from next month's Ascot Gold Cup. When the Michael Buckley-owned eight-year-old was winning everything there was talk he could at least try his luck on the Flat. The mega-money Melbourne Cup had been suggested, as well as the 2m4f Group 1 contest at Royal Ascot. But the latter is definitely off the agenda now after Henderson took him out 11 days before the official deadline. Based on what we know from his hurdle runs, 2m4f at Ascot, with the stiff finish, would probably have been too far for Constitution Hill. And jumping form doesn't necessarilly translate to the Flat, especially when he would have been taking on the likes of Aidan O'Brien's borderline unbeatable Kyprios. It would have been interesting to see Constitution Hill line up at Ascot. But it was always a long shot - bookies had him priced at 33-1 - and really it looks like the right decision has been made. Henderson was left scratching his head after his former superstar appeared to lose all confidence at his hurdles. His two falls were shockers but he was the opposite at Punchestown, ballooning his obstacles where previously he looked slick. Hendo said after that defeat, where he finished in fifth of six and 27 lengths behind State Man: "It's disappointing but it's a tough game. "It was sad Constitution Hill had to be beaten that way because you could live with going down in a battle. "Something has obviously gone wrong because that's not him and our job is to try to unravel the mystery." . Remember to gamble responsibly A responsible gambler is someone who:

Nicky Henderson set to wave goodbye to 21 horses as owners decide it's time to move on
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A GRAND total of 21 Nicky Henderson-trained horses are set to be put up for sale later this month - as owners decide it's time to move on. Doncaster's Spring HIT/PTP Sale will see a whole load of Seven Barrows runners go under the hammer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Nicky Henderson will see one horse in the famous Donnelly silks, worn here by James Bowen, sold at the Doncaster sales, when Shanagh Bob goes under the hammer Credit: PA Among them is Grade 2 winner Shanagh Bob, owned by Joe and Marie Donnelly of State Man, Sir Gino and Lulamba fame. The lovable seven-year-old never reached the same heights as his owner's other superstars. But he closed out his time with Henderson with one final victory - his first since December 2023 when he scooped the Graded race at Cheltenham - in a match race at Ludlow on Sunday. Hendo said: "He's always been a lovely horse and is very straightforward to train. "It's fair to say he's not quite been as nice as we thought he'd be but he won well and he's still got a bright future. He'll go to the Doncaster sales now." Also up for sale is First Street, owned by billionaire Lady Bamford. First Street, an eight-year-old gelding, actually finished second to State Man in the 2022 County Hurdle. The future Champion Hurdle winner was famously thrown in that Grade 3 handicap race off a ridiculous mark of 141. He would go on to be rated a best 169. First Street gave State Man 1lb that day and went down just over a length at 16-1 under Nico de Boinville. Simon Munir and Isaac Souede, who own the likes of Impaire Et Passe, have also listed their five-year-old gelding Katana as being for sale. This many horses going under the hammer doesn't mean owners are leaving Hendo, just that these particular runners may do better elsewhere under a different ownership. Henderson, who also recently saw £1.2million world-record jumps horse Palladium leave his yard, endured a tough end to the season when stable star Constitution Hill imploded yet again at Punchestown. The former Champion Hurdle king jumped poorly in the Grade 1 Boodles Champion Hurdle, finishing 27 lengths behind winner State Man. He fell in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham and again capsized a few weeks later at Aintree. But he could be seen again next month after being given an entry in Ascot's Gold Cup. And there is real hope for the future with the likes of Lulamba. He made amends for his narrow Triumph Hurdle defeat at the hands of 100-1 Poniros with victory in the Grade 1 Ballymore Champion Four Year Old Hurdle at Punchestown. The Willie Mullins-trained Poniros, owned by Brighton boss Tony Bloom, finished four lengths behind in second.
