In a recent race at Worcester, a horse named Hillsin found himself at the center of attention due to its controversial performance. Trained by Chris Honour and ridden by conditional jockey Dylan Kitts, the horse’s strong bid for victory came under scrutiny, prompting accusations of going “to an extreme.” As this incident unfolds, Honour’s family is now embroiled in the fallout.

Hillsin’s first outing under Chris Honour’s tutelage took place during a two-and-a-half mile conditional riders’ handicap hurdle. With Dylan Kitts in the saddle, the horse showcased great promise as it surged forward, nearing a potential career debut victory. As Hillsin made headway up the home straight, he found himself in a tightly contested position, seeking a breakthrough performance to secure a win.

Trainer Chris Honour found himself subjected to criticism when accusations arose questioning the jockey’s methods during the race. Although Honour insists he would never discourage a jockey from winning, concerns were raised about the thresholds crossed by Dylan Kitts atop Hillsin. The trainer addressed these concerns promptly, acknowledging the scale of the controversy and its subsequent impact on his family.
