    Zavateri would’ve won that with a clear passage.

    I think Henderson is suffering from a bout of Gosdenitis … oohing and ahhing about the ground. Just let the horse take his chance for God’s sake.

    Constitution Hill won’t be short on stamina. I think a brisk pace will suit him. Still has low mileage for his age. Actually, there have been many older horses over the last few months putting some of the younger ones to the sword.

    I’m pretty sure that Constitution Hill will take most of his rivals out of their comfort zone.

    One horse looked as though it had its head stepped on by another.

    I’m at a loss on what to pick. This has to be one of the strongest GN line-ups I’ve seen. Backing too many horses in it has been my undoing in recent years. On the flip side, the temptation to back a few horses is like trying to defy gravity. Think I might grab a 6 inch nail, spin round like Robin Cousins, stab it in the line up and see what pops up…

    God knows who the hell gave Matthew Stevens the job of being a snooker commentator. He speaks too close to the mic and sounds as though he’s drunk a bad bottle of beer.

    While seeing the names of deceased horses in this thread week after week, it’s routine to bless and respect them without making a post.
    Sometimes, there are names of more popular horses who need a mention to remind how much pleasure they gave us during their wonderful careers.
    Rarely, a name will prematurely appear here like a large crack in glass…

    Seeing Sir Gino’s name here hits hard. Haven’t felt this bad for a horse since St Nicholas Abbey passed away 12 years ago. My heart goes out to all connections to him. Utterly heartbreaking.
    Sir Gino was one of the most talented horses I’ve ever seen. The perfect package. Slick jumper of fences and hurdles. Great temperament. Smart turn of foot. Won races in cruise control. In an alternative world, he’d have been one of the greats.

    God bless his wonderful soul!

    Must admit, I’m disappointed that Ryan Moore is riding Constitution Hill. Not a fan at all. His excessive use of the whip on Mums Tipple in the Premier Yearling Stakes back in 2019 was unnecessary.

    Adele should go on Celebrity Bake Off since her eyeliner looks like it’s been piped on.

    It might be a bit ambitious but I’d love to see Constitution Hill have a pop at the Coronation Cup at Epsom or even the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes…
