Constitution Hill seeks Champion Hurdle title at Cheltenham

Constitution Hill aims to reclaim his title in the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, starting March 11. The eight-year-old, unbeaten over hurdles, missed last year's event due to health issues but is now ready to compete. The festival will honor Irish jockey Michael O'Sullivan, who died last month, with the opening race named after him. Other notable competitors include Brightersdaysahead and State Man, last year's winner. Organizers expect lower ticket sales for the third consecutive year, despite changes to improve the event. New parking options and frozen ticket prices have been introduced to attract more attendees amid competition from cheaper viewing options abroad.
