The day after Christmas is Boxing Day and TEN tracks host jump racing after the dark days Sunday and Christmas Day. The major fixtures are at Kempton Park, Leopardstown, Aintree, and Wetherby, all of which have Grade 1 events.

The most anticipated race of the day is the 3-mile Ladbrokes King George VI Chase (Grade 1) at Kempton, but the undefeated hurdler Constitution Hill (7-7) is the unquestioned star performer against an overmatched field in the 2-mile Ladbrokes Christmas Hurdle (Grade 1) in the race before the King George.

KEM R3 (8:55am ET)- 2m (Winter) Ladbrokes Christmas Hurdle (Grade 1)

Hewick had won the Grand National at Far Hills last year as well. TW

Tough beat but good to see 2022 Steeplechase Eclipse winner Hewick win after looking completely out of it for most of the race
