Sir Alex Ferguson could not contain himself, and his euphoria has spread around the world. The legendary former coach and former sporting director of Manchester United, where he worked for more than 40 years, has changed football for horse riding. He owns a stable, and this Friday one of his horses gave him great joy.
The equine is called Spirit Dancer and he was the first to cross the finish line in the International Trophy of Bahraina test worth a million dollars.
Ferguson’s horse, winner in 20213, did not arrive this year at a good time. He was on a bad streak and many doubted his chances of victory. In the days leading up to the event, he had been soundly defeated by Lead Artisttrained by John and Thady Gosden, who was considered the favorite. The race seemed to line up with these predictions, as Lead Artist took the lead down the stretch, showing plenty of stamina. However, in a surprising turn of events, Spirit Dancer emerged from behind, defying expectations and securing the victory.
An emotional Sir Alex Ferguson expressed his disbelief and pride after the historic victory. “Incredible,” he commented in a post-race interview. «I said to myself: ‘He’s not going to make it.’ I don’t know where he got the strength from. I just can’t believe I made it this far. “I’m really proud of him and the jockey.”
Jed Mason, Ferguson’s friend and co-owner of Spirit Dancer, shared the joy: “They say lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice, but today it did. The merit goes to Richard Fahey and the team for helping him recover from his injury. “It is a fantastic achievement and I am very pleased for Sir Alex who bred this horse.”
