Ruby Walsh: Constitution Hill can crown great week for raiding party
POINT TO PROVE: Having fallen on his last two starts, Constitution Hill will look to end his season on a high note at Punchestown. Picture: David Davies/PA
The sunshine continued to beam on a glorious Punchestown, but the sun had the good grace to go and hide behind a few clouds before racing started to take the real heat out of the day. That didn’t mean things weren’t hot on the track, where the British raiders enjoyed more success with Jonjo and AJ O'Neill getting on the score sheet along with Nicky Henderson.
The Bowen brothers announced their arrival in Kildare, too, with a winner apiece, and the day flowed briskly by to the Grade Ones at the backend of the card. Before we got there, Sixandahalf went under in the Mares’ Novice Hurdle, giving the bookmakers the ammunition to take on Majborough, but the punters didn't back down and chased their losses to 4-11 and never had a moment's worry. With their tails up, the punters chased Teahupoo and headed into today with cash in the bank.
