HILL Constitution: This season, drawing a sensation of “much more hapler horse”, Nicky Henderson says Unbridled | Racing news
Coach Nicky Henderson said the unrestrained Podcast was a much more acceptable horse, while in March he increased the preparation for the victory of his Champion Hurtle Crown at the Cheltenham Festival.
Despite stumbling at the last Saturday Unibet obstacle at Cheltenham, British Hurdler, two kilometers, requested a light second -grade triumph on Cheltenham’s trial day, and now draws attention to the Champion Hurtle in Prestbury Park in March.
In an interview with Matt Chapman and Paddy Brennan on Unbridled, The Seven Barrows Man said: “Suddenly he realized he was quite important, he really believes he is now. Kempton was amazing and the crowd actually moved. , all he does is unexpected, but it’s like he suddenly got into a new frame of mind.
“He is a much happier horse than ever before and loves the new house we have built him. I just think he enjoys life. It’s good, that’s a key thing.”
Asked if his superpower could ever return to the heights of his 2022-23 campaign, when he won the Fighting Fifth, a Christmas obstacle, Champion Hurtle and Aintree Hurtle, Henderson remained unrivaled.
He said, “It would be hard to be better than what he was. In the supreme and the obstacles of the champion you couldn’t imagine that a horse could decision those he did without pulling out of Bridle, but he could. Of course he was the same On Saturday, but, given the opposition, he did one thing and they thought about their own business.
“He commanded and enjoys it – it’s the most religious thing, but I think he’s moving very well. He has that momentum about him, and the audience was just great on Saturday – before the race and after that.
Constitutional Hill spots saw that many viewers compared him with a large sprinter Sacre, who hit the gold of the first grade first grade nine times for Henderson during his years in 2012 to 2012.
Comparing the two, Henderson noticed: “It’s a long way, a long way in the track and a presence from what Sacre Sacre was, but Sprinter knew he was the best horse in England, as well as the best horse. The Hill Constitution is not the best horse in England , but he gets such an idea that people do quite like him, it’s like “Oh, look at me!”
The rare day when the Hill Constitution did not look at his glittering best during the public gallop, along with Sir Ginu last fall, which compared a similar bad work at the Kempton in Rango to the Cheltenham 2024 festival.
Looking back, Henderson said, “I could give up public gallop and try to be good when he doesn’t race to show that he is alive and healthy. I’m glad we did it in public last year because it was so disaster, I’m not sure he would trust me anyway.
“To be fair, Newbury Gallop wasn’t so bad because I was trying to show that everyone was watching, [Sir] Gino is a very smart horse. This is what Hill Hill took over in Newbury is nothing wrong with him – the other horse was just a little more forward than him, but he is very good. “
After success on the trial days, Henderson will give his champion a short break before preparing for the barbarian champion – against the wishes of Joker Nico de Boinville.
“Nico got off him last week and said, ‘This horse is too fresh, keep doing it, don’t give him any free trip! “She has this week free, I assure you, whether you are Nico or Paddy [Brennan].
All roads lead to the spirit of the cheese Gino game and Jango Baie is prepared for a Sandown test
Despite having started the season because of obstacles in Fighting Peto, Sir Gino has so far enjoyed a star campaign over the seven Barrows fences.
Asked if the upcoming toy chase could be a potential next test, Henderson replied, “I think it’s a plan, I’d like to go to Newbury and he’s in good shape.”
Another of Henderson’s charges showing the promise is Jango Baie, who shone on a seasonal performance on December Cheltenham, beating like Springwell Baya and Caldwell Potter.
Looking in advance, Henderson commented: “[The Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase] Is his target all the way and hope we will be there [at Sandown] Saturday. “
Eastern India’s Lulabe Testing Bose In Triumph
Dock James Owen Eastern India appeared as the main challenger of Henderson’s lulas for JCB Triumph Hurdle with attractive success in ASCOTA’s trial, who attracted the attention of a six -time champion coach.
“I was impressed with him [East India Dock]. We have to do our own, they will work their own. He sets up a good pace and if he will do so in March, he will give them a nice guidance and I hope we are somewhere on his tail to look at and see what is happening.
Asked if he had any others in the courtyard, he couldn’t wait to run, the 74-year-old replied: “The other one is coming out is a happy place for tenants. That pattern is very good! When he won the New Year, he beat Horse Nigel Twiston -Davies [Gowel Road] Giving him 6 pounds and that came out and won on Saturday. I think that form is quite solid. We take that he will remain three miles in confidence, so he didn’t run on Saturday, but I think he gets into the equation. “
What is the latest on the palace?
All eyes were on Huntingdon on January 2, when Palladium of 1.4 million euros flew the Lady Bamford color flag for the first time. Despite the fair amount of Nay-Sajma on social media after the victory, his coach was pleased with what he saw.
He said, “We were delighted with him. It is one of those stupid situations for the price. If you remember a few years ago, every time Jonbon ran, they had to mention what it cost. You will notice that they never mention what cost it, because he was cheap. “
“Palladium has to run again. He is a big kolt and they take a lot more work – it’s pretty congested. I even talked to previous coaches who said he wasn’t good at home, he just walked on a racing track. He’ll have a summer campaign in the apartment .
Before he lowered his phone, Matt Chapman squeezed himself in his last question about the possibility of celebrating the Hill Flat Racing Constitution one day.
John, Henderson replied, “We talked about it a few years ago and I said to John Gosden:” Beware that we can go to the Golden Cup! “He thought I was talking about Cheltenham, but I was talking about Ascot!
