Constitution Hill's Downfall Continues at Newcastle
In a shocking turn of events, former champion hurdler Constitution Hill fell once again, this time in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle. The horse, which had won its first 10 races, has now suffered three falls in just four outings, leaving many wondering if it has finally lost its magic.
According to former champion jockey AP McCoy, who spoke to ITV Sport, Constitution Hill once again failed to live up to expectations. "He did the same thing as he has twice before, stood off a mile and hit the middle of the hurdle," McCoy said. This is not the first time the horse has exhibited this behavior; it had heavy falls at Cheltenham and Aintree.
The current leader in the field, Golden Ace, proved to be too strong for Constitution Hill, coming from behind to take the win. Trainer Jeremy Scott expressed relief that no one was seriously injured during the incident. "I'm glad everyone is up OK, who could believe Constitution Hill coming down again?" he said.
Despite the setback, Golden Ace trainer Jeremy Scott remains optimistic about his horse's chances. "We must be everybody's nemesis! Her jumping was very good today and we've beaten Anzadam whatever. I still don't think we're quite there, so there's hopefully more to come."
Meanwhile, The New Lion also suffered a fall when in the lead, while Anzadam took second place behind Golden Ace. Nemean Lion rounded out the top three.
As the horse racing world continues to watch and wait, one thing is clear: Constitution Hill has finally fallen short of expectations, leaving many wondering if it will ever regain its former glory.

... constitution hill's downfall is like a cautionary tale... all that hype and expectation, but can't even get through a hurdle without going down 
. i mean, 3 falls in just 4 outings? that's not good to see. AP McCoy's comments hit the nail on the head tho - it's like constitution hill's lost its magic 
. golden ace's win was impressive, but let's be real, it's not like they're gonna keep winning every time 
... and what about all those other horses that fell too? The New Lion, Anzadam... does anyone really know who's safe to bet on now? 
Oh man, this is so disappointing! 
Constitution Hill was on fire 
for a while, but now it's like it just can't get out of first gear 
. Three falls in four races? 
That's not what you want to see from a champ champ 
- the horse is standing off a mile and hitting the middle of the hurdle 
. Jeremy Scott's relief is understandable 
, but for Golden Ace, this win was just the icing on the cake 
. Can't wait to see how Golden Ace does next 
!
golden ace totally outshone it and i gotta give it to jerey scott for saying he's still optimistic about his chances tho 
its def not over yet for him... but like, constitution hill needs to get its act together ASAP 
, i'm not surprised they took the win. and poor AP mccoys face 
he's been calling out constitution hill for ages now. anyway, here's hoping jeremy scott knows what he's doing next 
maybe jeremy scott is right tho & golden ace is the new champ? 
. Anyway, it's crazy to see how fast those horses are moving! I mean, have you seen Golden Ace's time for this race? That's some serious speed right there 
. And yeah, Jeremy Scott seems pretty optimistic about his horse's chances... but we'll just have to wait and see if he's actually right 
.
it's like, you're on top of your game and then suddenly you're down 
anyway, it's clear that golden ace was on fire today 
jockeys know what they're talking about, especially someone with McCoy's expertise.
nemean lion looks like a solid contender as well... we'll just have to wait and see how constitution hill recovers from this latest mishap 
... mccoy's comments about constitution hill just seem so harsh tho, like, isn't that kinda brutal? 
The thing is, even though it had a bad day, Golden Ace did what many predicted - the horse was just too strong 
Before a big racing event, write down three things you're proud of and what you're going to do to stay focused 
. It's like he lost his focus or something, you know? And for a horse that was supposed to be a champion, it's pretty disappointing 
. The racing world is definitely watching, and we want to see the best of the best out there 
. And Anzadam getting second place... that's just weird too. I'm gonna keep an eye on this, for sure 
I'm telling ya, this horse's luck just ain't cuttin' it no more! Three falls in four outings? That's just crazy talk! AP McCoy was spot on, the horse's got a weird way of dealin' with them hurdles, always standin' off and then comin' down hard.
