364: Did Jonbon really win a Mickey Mouse race? | Horse Racing News | The Front Page

A day of drama at Ascot, spiky words from a top Irish jumps figure and the latest chapter in the Constitution Hill saga are all covered in this week's edition of The Front Page.Jonbon had a day to remember in the Clarence House Chase but he triumphed under James Bowen, not Harry Cobden, after JP McManus's next retained rider was injured in an earlier race. Lee Mottershead, Chris Cook and Jonathan Harding look at what the win means for Jonbon and debate some dismissive comments from Marine Nationale's owner-trainer Barry Connell. They also ask what the future holds for Cobden and Mark Walsh, who has been McManus's principal rider in Ireland.As well as reflecting on the other weekend action, which included a devastating victory by Old Park Star, we examine a run of odds-on defeats for Willie Mullins-trained horses, a new Flat target for Constitution Hill and the ongoing stand-off between BHA chair Lord Allen and Britain's racecourses.
