The Fall of an Icon: Constitution Hill's Flat Defeat and the Racing Industry's Shift The news from Kempton on Saturday was met with shock, as one of racing's biggest draws, Constitution Hill, fell to Pride Of Arras in convincing fashion.
This defeat is not surprising given the sport's recent struggles. For years, British racing has witnessed a slow erosion of talent and dominance from its top echelons.
Constitution Hill's performance was marked by his inability to keep up with the pace set by Gethin and eventually Pride Of Arras.
