The day I was given the keys to Constitution Hill

After a 20-year hiatus, Nicky Henderson asked him to ride Constitution Hill. He was not the owner's choice. The horse is in good condition and is favourite for the Ladbrokes Christmas Hurdle at Kempton on Boxing Day. He rode the horse pretending to be Constitution. It was unimpressive. Nicki Henderson is not gullible. His children might say otherwise. But he would not be asked to rode a horse already established in the very top bracket. If the nobblers come round, they might take out the doppelganger. They might even take the real thing. There is something about the outside of a racehorse that is good for a man.
