Constitution Hill Next Race: Where Does He Run After Kempton?

Constitution Hill has no confirmed next race yet. His fourth at Kempton left the Irish St Leger as the only current entry, but he was scratched from that race in early September.

Before we look at the latest news surrounding Constitution Hill and his next run, punters can find sports betting markets on key meetings and fixtures at William Hill.

What happened in the September Stakes?

Constitution Hill finished fourth in the William Hill September Stakes at Kempton on 5 September, his first run in Group company on the Flat. Billy Loughnane rode him, and the gelding was sent off 9/2.

Stewards noted that he bled from the nose after the race, while Nicky Henderson said he was “100 per cent OK” afterwards. The result checked Melbourne Cup hopes and left connections weighing up a fresh plan for the autumn.

Where could Constitution Hill run next?

The Kempton run created more questions than answers because Constitution Hill has now been pushed into a tougher ratings bracket.

Henderson has already indicated that handicaps may be difficult to access, which leaves pattern races, a return to jumps, or a decision to stop racing altogether.

Constitution Hill’s Flat record so far

Constitution Hill has had three Flat runs this year. He won at Southwell on 20 February under Oisin Murphy and followed up at Kempton on 25 March under Ryan Moore before finishing fourth in the September Stakes under Billy Loughnane.
