Constitution Hill Wins Unibet Hurdle, Stays Unbeaten

Constitution Hill, the esteemed hurdler trained by Nicky Henderson, maintained his unbeaten record with a tenth successive victory at the Unibet Hurdle in Cheltenham, despite a major blunder at the final flight. As a 1-12 favorite, his performance was largely smooth until he crashed through the last hurdle, eliciting gasps from the crowd but recovering to win by three lengths ahead of Brentford Hope. Jockey Nico de Boinville explained that Constitution Hill was 'half-asleep' due to the slow pace, which contributed to the error. This victory reaffirms Constitution Hill's readiness to reclaim his Champion Hurdle title, after missing last year's defense due to health issues. Trainer Nicky Henderson expressed relief and pride in the horse's recovery and performance, noting the overwhelming support from spectators.
