FERGIE'S HORSE

Last updated : 22 October 2002 By editor

‘Rock Of Gibraltar will run in Saturday's Breeders' Cup Mile and Ferguson is telkling his players to get on it:

"I never dreamt I would have a horse going for eight straight Group 1 wins in the Breeders' Cup. It's remarkable to own a horse compared to Brigadier Gerard. I am having a family party and hopefully we will be celebrating. The draw is important but I believe he is tough and has the courage to win. But away ties are always tricky. It's only been this year that my players have started to ask whether the Rock is worth a bet. The odds have never been very good but with all the money they are on, they are not worried about the starting price."
