Lossiemouth Wins Aintree Hurdle, Constitution Hill Falls

Constitution Hill, a prominent hurdler, suffered another fall during the Aintree Hurdle, marking his second fall in less than a month after a similar incident at Cheltenham. Despite starting as the favorite, his fall allowed Lossiemouth, trained by Willie Mullins, to secure victory, contributing to Mullins' impressive 101-1 four-timer on the day. Both Constitution Hill and his jockey, Nico de Boinville, were unhurt from the fall. Trainer Nicky Henderson expressed disbelief and heartbreak over the repeated falls of his previously unbeaten star. There is ongoing consideration over Constitution Hill's participation in future races, such as Punchestown. Lossiemouth's victory was aided by her adept handling of the drying ground, as noted by her jockey, Paul Townend.
