WHAT A PERFORMANCE! Constitution Hill blows them away in the 2022 Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle

How good could this one be? Constitution Hill leads home a one-two for Nicky Henderson with an extraordinary performance in the 2022 Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham.
Sent off the 9-4 joint-favourite for the Festival opener, Nico de Boinville's mount simply glided up the famous hill to account for stablemate Jonbon, with Willie Mullins' Kilcruit well-beaten third.
The turning point of the Grade One was at the third-last flight, when the pace-setting Mullins-trained Dysart Dynamo crashed out, leaving the Henderson pair alone up front.
There was little between the duo going to two out - but Constitution Hill was going the better and soon took the lead. The five-year-old, owned by Michael Buckley, quickly put daylight between himself and Jonbon to score by 22 lengths.
Winning trainer Nicky Henderson said: "The three of them were a long way clear by the time Dysart Dynamo fell, and no one wants to see that happen. Jonbon is a very good horse - for Constitution Hill to do that to him is remarkable.
“It’s extraordinary that he is a genuine two-miler - I don’t know why, he’d stay two and half standing on his head, I think. He’s got an enormous turn of foot. He’s always just racing in two gears below everyone else, because it’s all so easy for him, and then you press the button and the turbo works. That’s the way he is at home and that’s the way he is on the racecourse, which is lovely.
"I’d be very surprised if anything could have done that to Jonbon, so he must be extraordinary. The hype horse actually earlier on in the year was Jonbon, and then this fella woke up from his slumbers at home, and I stopped bothering Barry [Geraghty], asking him what this was he’d sent me, because we suddenly realised he was very good.
"He’s been very good, it was just how much he actually knew, because he’d only run in two hurdle races, with four runners in each. To go out there and go at that gallop - that’s the extraordinary thing, that he could travel so easily at that pace, and then pick it up. To find gears at the end of a headlong gallop like that is extraordinary."

@@jameshaycraft5022 Yes, there is the National Steeplechase circuit in the US. Most races are on the east coast. The season starts around March in the southern states and by August they run at Saratoga racecourse. They use the inner turf course at this track. There is a lot smaller fan base here, I think because the average bettor does not know how to handicap these races.

Possibly the greatest performance I've ever seen from a novice hurdler. The time was spectacular, broke the course record in fact. I love Honeysuckle, she's an absolute legend of a mare but she won't stand a chance against this machine. The most unbelievable thing about Constitution Hill's performance today is that even after an absolute break neck gallop, he still managed to come up the hill faster than Honeysuckle and he did it at a canter. It would be madness to send him novice chasing and I don't believe Nicky to be a mad man. If he can keep him sound, he won't be beat in a true run race for at least 3 years. He'll be the best since Istabraq.

[@WolfeTone66]

I think you summed it up perfectly. He’s never even been taken off the bridal yet & I think he’d have won the Champion Hurdle on that form. He definitely has the scope to be a future Champion Chaser too, he’s a big horse. Very exciting to have a superstar like him.

Usually the reason why horses fall (especially in hurdles races) is because they get tired that's y they usually fall towards the business end of the race. So I'm not buying the "What if" game with Dysart Dynamo. Even when you look at the fall Constitution Hill was about eat him up. I think he would have got 3rd or 4th. But Dysart Dynamo is gonna get plenty of chances to show how good he is. I hope Constitition and Honeysuckle don't meet at Punchestown. I hope they let the clash race marinate and stew and grow. People have attacking the hurdles division for years but if they both turn up next year, both still unbeaten then that's gonna b a Kauto Star Vs Denman in 08 clash.

Not sure where that theory has come from and Desert Orchid, Forest Sun, French Holly, Monsignor, Noland, Summerville Boy and Yorkhill all won at the Cheltenham Festival later on in their racing careers after earlier winning the Tolworth Hurdle. Silverburn won the Grand National and Finian's Oscar won the Grade 1 Novices' Hurdle at the Grand National meeting after earlier winning the Tolworth Hurdle too.

Now they have Rich Ricci, Michael O’Leary of Ryanair, JP McManus, Tony Bloom, Cheveley Park Stud & large wealthy syndicates investing huge money in horses & sending them to Mullins, Elliot & De Brombead. It’s the same on the flat since Coolmore arrived. These trainers always had the ability, they just needed the ammunition.

Get on him at 3/1 then if you think he should be odds on. If he stays fit & turns up, he’ll probably win, but that’s a year away & a lot can happen. That’s why he’s that price. It’s also possible he’ll go chasing next year.

[@rob9999i]

That’s the problem, I have a feeling they will send him over fences. Like they did Altior and like they did Sprinter Sacre. I’d much rather see Constitution go for the champion hurdle I’d be on big right now if I knew he was. He’d have easily won the CH today if he’d gone in it. I thought it was a poor renewal, even accounting for the admirable winning machine that is honeysuckle. They was a moment 2 out she looked in trouble briefly but the rest were too shit to take advantage

[@WolfeTone66]

@@rob9999i ..I agree, it was a poor Champion Hurdle, not wishing to take anything away from Honeysuckle, but nobody can say it was it was a vintage renewal. Constitution Hill looks like a chaser already, but he’d mop up everything over hurdles next year. It wouldn’t surprise me if Nicky puts him straight in against the seniors in the 2m4f race at Aintree. He’d have no problem staying & could even be better.

[@rob9999i]

@Christophe yes the CH is normally my favourite race of the week but today’s one was poor on paper and poor in the run. I’ve won lots of races with Honeysuckle and She’s obviously great but she’s not one of the great champion hurdlers for me. Whilst this years price of 8/11 was actually very generous (she was 1/2 antepost....) I wasn’t impressed with the run tbh. If constitution hill had gone in that really struggle to see how he’d not have won. That said very rare to run a novice in the CH and the supreme was hot enough on paper. I hope they keep him over hurdles as some horses don’t take to fences and he’s got Plenty of time to go after fences. Go Champion hurdle next year then fences

[@WolfeTone66]

@@rob9999i ..I agree. I think it’s possible that Constitution Hill will meet Honeysuckle sometime this year, perhaps at Punchestown. There’s no point in Nicky keeping him in novice company now, he’s obviously in a different league. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in the 2m4f Hurdle at Aintree against his seniors & he’d start as favourite.
