Lossiemouth claims Aintree Hurdle as Constitution Hill falls again

Constitution Hill suffered a second consecutive fall during the Aintree Hurdle, allowing Lossiemouth to secure victory and complete a Grade One four-timer for trainer Willie Mullins. The race, part of the Grand National meeting, saw Constitution Hill, the favorite, struggle for racing room before falling at the penultimate flight, leaving Lossiemouth to win by two and three-quarter lengths over Wodhooh. Willie Mullins expressed disappointment for the connections of Constitution Hill, while suggesting that Lossiemouth would likely compete next at Punchestown. Nicky Henderson, trainer of Constitution Hill, described the incident as heartbreaking, noting the horse's exceptional jumping ability and expressing concern about the recurrence of falls. The event rekindled memories of Constitution Hill's previous fall at the Champion Hurdle, raising questions about the horse's future performance. Lossiemouth's victory further solidifies her status as one of the top mares in racing history.
