SIR ALEX GETS INTO THE SPIRIT AT SHA TIN
The Straits Times
|December 08, 2024
Manchester United legend is counting on Spirit Dancer to score a goal in 'away game'
Sir Alex Ferguson may have dropped out of the football limelight, but he will be chasing glory in a different arena, in Hong Kong on Dec 8 - horse racing.
The legendary former Manchester United manager landed in the former British colony on Dec 7 to watch his horse Spirit Dancer, whom he also bred and now shares with Peter Done and Ged Mason, contest the HK$40 million (S$6.89 million) Group 1 Longines Hong Kong Cup (2,000m) at Sha Tin.
While United have often walked onto the pitch as favourites, the Frankel seven-year-old will be among 11 underdogs out to lower the boom of two-time Cup winner and local hero Romantic Warrior.
Prepared by North Yorkshire-based Irish trainer Richard Fahey, Spirit Dancer actually boasts some of the finer credentials among the seven overseas raiders.
