Michael Buckley: 'A Champion Hurdle and a Gold Cup. That would be something special, wouldn't it?'

This interview by racing writer of the year Peter Thomas was originally published in February exclusively for Racing Post Members' Club subscribers and has been made free to read for users of the Racing Post app as our Sunday Read. 

With a decision on whether Constitution Hill goes chasing or stays over hurdles imminent and expected to be announced in the coming days, we take a look back at what his owner Michael Buckley had to say about the Nicky Henderson-trained superstar, and much more about his life in and out of racing. 

This interview was recorded before Constitution Hill maintained his unbeaten record with a dominant victory in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham, raising the possibility that he could become the first horse to complete a Champion Hurdle-Cheltenham Gold Cup double since Dawn Run.
