“When Constitution Hill got back to the yard, he had his feed and a roll and that was it for him”
about 100 messages just from people saying well done. He didn’t know he had done a stroke, as he just takes it all in. “When Constitution Hill got back to the yard, he had his feed and a roll and that was it for him and it was a case of good night. “When we come back into Lambourn, we have to go past a pub called The George in the village and they were all standing out there cheering us on. That was lovely. We had a drink to celebrate it, but only a small one, as we had day two of the Festival to do. However, we celebrated properly at the end of the week.” While excited about what the future holds for Constitution Hill, it is only fair that Lee’s other
equine celebrity, Shishkin, is given a mention after announcing himself as potential Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup contender, much to the delight of the ardent Chelsea FC fan. He says: “Fingers crossed Shishkin can be a Gold Cup contender. I’ve said it many times before that I’m very lucky who I look after. He seems to have reinvented himself again as a three-miler. He looked good at Aintree winning the Bowl and we will just see what happens. I think he can be a Gold Cup horse this season. He did really well to outbattle Ahoy Senor at Aintree and the Gold Cup trip won’t be a bother so it is a case of keeping our fingers crossed.”
