❤️ ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!
STATE MAN earned £1.5 MILLION throughout his remarkable career, with owners Joe and Marie Donnelly reportedly donating the money to charity. 🙌
😂🐎 Turns out we’ve been saying Billy Loughnane’s name wrong this whole time!
Simon Mapletoft gets the correct pronunciation straight from Billy himself!
🗣️ Willie Mullins on State Man:
"He was a wonderful horse to train. He won 14 races, 12 of them Grade Ones and was a fantastic servant to Closutton.
"Unfortunately we haven’t been able to bring him back into training following the injury he sustained but he’ll head away now for what will hopefully be a long and happy retirement."

🔵🟡🔴 A PERFECT START FOR RATTLIN HOME! ✈️
A faultless introduction to hurdling for the former point-to-point winner, who barely puts a foot wrong on his way to a comfortable success at Bangor.
Another impressive winner for the Dan and Harry Skelton combination! 🏆👏
ONE TO KEEP AN EYE ON! 👀
After finishing well down the field in the Cheltenham Champion Bumper, WILDE’S LEGACY bounces back with a brilliant win on his first start over hurdles for Jamie Snowden! 👏
🗣️ Henry de Bromhead on Heart Wood:
"He is hopefully a fitting horse to take to Down Royal and he was brilliant in the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham.
"We want to step him back up to three miles and see how we get on."

🏆 Haldon Gold Cup (Grade 2)
🏆 Rising Stars Novices’ Chase (Grade 2)
🏆 Badger Beers Handicap Chase
🗣️ Nicky Henderson on Act Of Innocence:
"He jumped his hurdles very well and could be an even better chaser. He’s got speed, we could drop him back in trip at some point."
💚💙

🗣️ Nicky Henderson on Constitution Hill:
“He’s run a great race. He's got bags of pace. It's just the last 100 yards where he wasn't going to finish off, and he wasn't going to win from there. But he came into the race with the winner and he’s travelled really well.
“Slower ground might just help him a little bit. Both Oisin [Murphy] and Ryan [Moore] have said don't go further than a mile and a half and I think we could afford to come back on a trip too, especially on some slower ground.
“We're going to hunt down the Paris programme book. I think we'll try to get him to run before the end of the year again on some proper soft ground.
“This was his first proper outing since Kempton, which was a prep for something. Overall, it's been tremendous. He's run with great credit and we'll see where we go next.”

🇮🇹👑 Constitution Hill finishes fifth on his trip to Italy, but there were certainly positives to take from his performance.
A respectable effort from the King!
WHAT NEXT FOR CONSTITUTION HILL? ⚫️⚪️
