Michael Buckley and I have not surprisingly spent a lot of time soul searching and thinking over Constitution Hills future and have sadly concluded that he will not be running in the Unibet Champion Hurdle the week after next.
Last Friday night was for us all a magical occasion and we so appreciated his popularity and the love and admiration everybody showed to Conrad , as he is fondly called here.
It was a terrific night for both him, us, and I believe British Horse Racing and we are very aware of the public perception and the possible consequences of running over hurdles and feel it is not fair to ask him and Nico to do it again.
He showed on Friday night that he has another career in front of him that could possibly take us all to new playing fields. I would like to thank the thousands of Constitution Hills supporters and admirers that have shared their sentiments with us and advice on how we should proceed, and I would have to say the poll was as near 50/50 as you could get.
This is a sad day for a lot of us, particularly the National Hunt fraternity that would have liked to have seen Constitution Hill try to regain his crown and sad for all here especially Nico who has spent so much time trying to iron out our jumping issues.
However he leaves the jumping world sound & happy and ready for the next chapter. It has been a staggering journey so far and Michael has had to endure some dark days but of course enjoyed the enormous highs and thrills of an extraordinary horse.
Cheltenham have kindly invited Constitution Hill to parade on Champion Hurdle day to give all his National Hunt supporters the opportunity to say goodbye.
Midfielder Herbie Kane has today joined fellow Sky Bet League One side Plymouth Argyle on loan for the remainder of the 2025/26 season.
Go well, Herbie ๐

Havenโt been so out of touch with town in my life but every now and then I see something ridiculous like this pop up on my feed ๐คฃ๐คฃ The blokes creating his own buzzwords
Gary Neville speaks for 3 minutes about how division is being created all over the place and that we need to become more neutral with each other but leave it to โGB Politicsโ to take one quote out of the entire thing in an attempt to creat division about what heโs saying.
๐ฃ๏ธ โHe understands Northern football.โ
Owner Kevin Nagle tells us why he appointed Lee Grant as Huddersfield Townโs new manager.

Seen enough of this now, another unproven manager showing himself to be completely naive tactically and in terms of the sides he puts out. Shouldโve known the second I saw a captains armband on Wiles
