Lossiemouth takes full advantage, as Constitution Hill falls again
I was disappointed for Michael (Buckley, owner), Nicky and Nico and the connections of Constitution Hill – and for racing. We came here knowing our mare was in good shape and we thought the (two-and-a-half-mile) trip would suit us this time (rather than two miles at Kempton), but we never got to find out. When Paul made his move it has eventually paid off, but I was wondering had he done it too soon. Nico has a great habit of looking like he is under pressure and then finding another bit in the last furlong. A couple of times we’ve thought we had Nico beat and he’s actually got a little bit up his sleeve, so I did wonder if Paul had played his cards too early, but it was gifted to him so what could he do.
