HOOF HEARTED AND NORFOLKENCHANTS-HORSES!

It might be one of those days when I am struggling for a theme. Spending a day on the Bellarine Peninsular, yes you know where that is.....I looked out for local sports clubs with training or matches on a Saturday. No luck. It's all happened or maybe there is a match or two tomorrow. So next best thing? Horse racing! The International Express ran a page in their review section on Horse Mad celebrities. Judi Dench, Liz Hurley, Ronnie Wood were outnumbered by three footballing giants.
We all know Sir Alec Ferguson's involvement with race horses having been a part owner with United shareholder John Magnier. Their relationship was strained over the ownership of the spectacular Rock of Gibraltar. Fergy gave Magnier the hair dryer for £110 million but settled for £2.5m! He was of course once part owner of a horse called "Hairdryer"!

Michael Owen is famous for owning, training and even riding race horses. His stables at Mount House, Cheshire occupied his time during the final seven years of his playing career and then made a professional debut in a charity race at Ascot last November.

Wayne Rooney bought a number of horses from Owen including Switcharooney and Pippy. he aimed to rename them Hoof Hearted and Norfolk Enchants but the jockey club spotted the fun and gave him a yellow card. In 2012 Yourartisonfire won Wayne a few bob at Haydock!
There's a bit more here for you ruminate on.
