  • Ferguson's horse Caldwell Potter won at Cheltenham
  • Ex-manager bought it for £620,000 at an auction
  • Claimed £65,000 for winning the race

  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    The 83-year-old former football manager was seen beaming with joy as he celebrated his horse Caldwell Potter’s impressive victory. Caldwell Potter competed in the Jack Richards Novice Limited Handicap Chase and, under the guidance of jockey Harry Cobden, secured a significant win at the prestigious festival.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The horse, which was purchased for £620,000 at an auction last year, had initially struggled to deliver on expectations. However, this victory marked a major breakthrough for Ferguson and his group, earning them a £65,000 prize.

    The victory at Cheltenham was particularly poignant for Ferguson, as it came just months after the passing of his close friend and co-owner John Hales. Hales played a key role in purchasing Caldwell Potter, and his absence was deeply felt during the celebrations. As a tribute to Hales, jockey Harry Cobden wore the late owner's distinctive yellow and red racing silks, honoring his contribution to the team.

  • WATCH THE CLIP

    Among those celebrating the win with Ferguson was television actor Alan Halsall, best known for playing Tyrone Dobbs in Coronation Street since 1998. Last year, Ferguson and Halsall were also spotted enjoying the festival alongside football manager Sam Allardyce.

  • WHAT FERGUSON SAID

    After securing victory, Ferguson told BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra: "I think the jumping won it. What can I say? Great horse, it was a bonus. Winning here last year with two was fantastic, and doing it again this year is fantastic. Thank you very much."

    WHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER UNITED?

    Manchester United have their sights set on European success as they prepare for the second leg of their Europa League round of 16 tie against Real Sociedad. After securing a 1-1 draw in Spain, the Red Devils now have the advantage of playing at Old Trafford, where a victory would see them progress to the quarter-finals. With their season hanging in the balance, securing a win on Thursday night would be crucial in keeping their silverware hopes alive.
