Geraghty recalls Constitution Hill’s start in hoofprints of legendary Arkle

Barry Geraghty bought the potential jumps champion, who continues his exciting racing career on Monday at Kempton

STAR: Constitution Hill.

The first time Barry Geraghty rode Constitution Hill in a fast piece of work, he was following in some very famous hoofprints. “It was actually on Jim Dreaper’s grass gallop,” he says, “where Arkle and Flyingbolt and all those horses would have galloped for years. There’s been one or two aeroplanes landing in that field.” 

Constitution Hill was another.
