Constitution Hill has potential to be greatest ever, adds 25-year-old jockey

Episode two of new music-and-chat podcast series Disc Jockeys features Harry Cobden, who discusses his career to date and what it would mean to win the Champion Jockey title

Harry Cobden has remarked that that Topofthegame is probably the best horse he’s sat on and it was a real shame the public never got to see his full potential; as he sat down on the latest episode of new podcast Disc Jockeys produced by creative marketing agency Square in the Air.

The new weekly show sees host Chris Barnett chat to some of the biggest names in racing who look back on the key moments in their careers through five carefully selected musical tracks, all in aid of the Injured Jockeys Fund.

Episode Two: Harry Cobden

Despite having arguably the most pressurised job in racing as stable jockey to 14-time champion trainer Paul Nicholls, Cobden sees the position he finds himself in as a dream.

“My career in the saddle so far has been a dream come true,” said Cobden. “Riding such good horses so consistently over the last few seasons has been amazing. I’ve had so much support, from many different owners and trainers and I’ve got to the point where I’m getting good opportunities all across the country as well as back home with Paul [Nicholls] at Ditcheat where I ride out.

“I’m only 25 but it’s a career I’m already very proud of and I’ve had some amazing moments along the way. Of them all there’s two I can’t split as my best with the first being my first King George success on Clan Des Obeaux. That was an amazing day, one I will never forget. It was the first time I had ever ridden in that race, so I was probably too young to appreciate how big of an occasion it was at the time. Looking back, it was special.

“The other moment that sticks out in my memory was my second Cheltenham Festival winner on Topofthegame. He was one of the best horses I have ever rode – perhaps the best – and it’s sad the racing world probably never got to see his full potential.”

Kauto Star the best we’ll see, but Constitution Hill is right up there

Cobden has ridden out at Nicholls’ yard since he was 13 and rode his first winner when he was 16 having skipped his GCSE English exam to do so. While the likes of Topofthegame and Cyrname are horses he cherishes highly there are two that stand out; both of which he was able to ride.

“Kauto Star is probably the greatest racehorse we’ll ever see,” Cobden said. “My first racing memory was in 2007 when he won his first Gold Cup. Obviously, trained by Paul Nicholls and owned by Clive Smith. It was a superb ride from Ruby [Walsh] and it was a real spectacle and performance that got me hooked on racing. I haven’t really looked back since.

“I’d love to have a go on Constitution Hill at the moment. He wins his races so effortlessly and he does things other horses can’t. He jumps quicker and slicker and has a freakishly good turn of foot. He’s one of the greatest horses I have ever seen and it’s frightening how much talent that horse has got.”

Wrap up warm this festive season with some retro-inspired slot action

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming invites you to cosy up to the fire and hit spin with the release of Totally Hot. This dynamic new title combines classic slot elements with modern gameplay mechanics.

Taking into account its December launch, BGaming dressed up the game for the season: the action is brought to life with bold visuals and festive animations, with roaring hot flames filling the background and Christmas candy canes bordering the reels. Totally Hot will revert to its original version when the holiday season is over.

It is not only the game’s visuals that have been given a modern makeover. Totally Hot deploys a pay-both-ways payment mechanic across its 5×3 game grid, giving players the chance to win with matching combinations in both directions across the reels. Wins go from left-to-right, right-to-left, and even begin in the middle of the reels.

There is also the potential for a festive treat to drop in the middle of the grid in the form of an Expanding Wild, holding players’ attention with the action on every spin.

Totally Hot keeps the good times rolling thanks to a low-volatility maths model that entertains players with frequent wins. This is complemented by an extremely attractive RTP of 97.21%.

Vasili Pauliuchenko, Game Producer at BGaming, said, “The holidays are here, and we wanted to provide our players with the bright and warm gift of nostalgia this Christmas. Totally Hot has been designed to captivate new players and seasoned classic slot lovers alike, keeping them engaged with wins coming from literally every direction.

The game’s blazing vibes and low volatility serve up plenty of laid-back fun.”

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has launched Young Eagle Song, a dynamic new Hold & Win title set above the snow-capped mountains of North America.

The game follows the eagle as it soars through storm clouds, with each spin offering the chance to discover the treasures hidden in the sky. Landing six or more bonus icons instantly triggers the Hold & Win round, where gold coins lock onto the reels and players get closer to the Mini, Major, or Grand jackpots.

Young Eagle Song offers a classic Hold & Win experience with a sharp, focused rhythm. The feature starts with three spins, resetting to three each time another coin lands. Each Bonus icon reveals a prize value ranging from 1x to 15x the stake, or one of the game’s fixed jackpots. Collecting all 15 positions wins the Grand Jackpot worth 1,000x, reaching its climax.

Players seeking direct access can utilise the bonus buy option, worth 32x the total bet, which instantly activates the feature with six coins already secured on the reels.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: Young Eagle Song captures the raw force of nature in a simple yet powerful format.

“We wanted to offer a clean, engaging Hold & Win experience with clear progression and strong win potential, brought to life through striking visuals and a bold atmosphere.”
