Constitution Hill falls but remains unharmed at Cheltenham

Constitution Hill suffered a heavy fall during the Champion Hurdle at the 2025 Cheltenham Festival but walked away unharmed. The race ended with Golden Ace winning unexpectedly after last year's champion, State Man, also fell at the last hurdle. Both horses and jockeys involved in the falls were confirmed to be fine by the British Horseracing Authority. Trainer Nicky Henderson stated that all parties are okay and expressed disappointment over the race's outcome. The falls were described as extraordinary, with trainers acknowledging the risks involved in racing. Despite the incidents, the victory of Golden Ace was celebrated as a positive outcome for the event.
