Champion Hurdle 2024
WHEN IS THE CHAMPION HURDLE 2024 DATE, START TIME, RUNNERS AND BETTING
The Champion Hurdle, the highlight of the opening day at the Cheltenham Festival 2024, will unfortunately be missing the spectacle of the equine marvel, Constitution Hill, in full splendour. Nicky Henderson's stable star decisively defeated Ireland's premier hurdler, State Man, by 9 lengths in last year's event, maintaining his unblemished career record. However, a tainted scope following a lacklustre gallop revealed an infection, leading to the cancellation of their anticipated rematch. There were whispers of a switch to chasing for Constitution Hill in hopes of mirroring the legendary achievements of Dawn Run, but this idea was abandoned by his team, who now appear focused on pursuing an unprecedented number of Champion Hurdle titles.
Apart from State Man, there's a noticeable lack of depth in quality within this division, suggesting a smaller field will line up at the start. Last season, Constitution Hill secured over £250,000 for his connections with his victory, and a similar purse is on offer in this year's competition.
