Constitution Hill falls again in dramatic Grand National race as condition update given
Constitution Hill suffered another fall during the dramatic Aintree Hurdle as Lossiemouth stormed to victory at the Grand National. On his last start in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham in March, the then-unbeaten horse, considered one of the best jumpers the sport has ever seen, fell with four hurdles to go.
He arrived at Aintree as the narrow favourite to win the Aintree Hurdle ahead of Lossiemouth, but his risky late jumps dominated the build-up. And jockey Nico De Boinville was sent tumbling to the turf again after hitting the hurdle on the second to last jump, having been forced to move into the middle. Paul Townend and Lossiemouth profited to take a clear victory ahead of Wodhooh and Take No Chances, but concern about Constitution Hill shrowded the triumph.
