With 32 entries for the Southwell race and only a maximum field size of 14, we could potentially see him being balloted out of the race…..how ironic would that be!
Apparently In the ballot, BHA rules give first priority to “horses that have run in or completed no more than two Flat races and have been placed in the first four at least once in those races,” a group which comprises eight of the 32 entries.
Second preference goes to “horses that have not run in a Flat race,” meaning Constitution Hill is among 15 such qualifiers whose order of elimination will be decided on Sunday morning by random ballot.
