The syndicate manager at Middleham Park Racing talks us through his top five Manchester City-themed MPR horses.
Feed The Goater
'. . . and he shall score.' Or at least that's how the song goes! Shaun Goater is one of my favourite players to have pulled on a City shirt. I remember mischievously staying up late one night to watch a cup game and Goater scored late on to give us the win. Shaun is aware of the horse and we've been trying to get him over to meet with our shareholders!
Aguerooo
I still don't think we used enough characters to reflect Martin Tyler's commentary that day! One of the greatest moments in Manchester City history when Aguero scored that last-minute winner against QPR to give us the title. We had to name a horse after that. He's not the sexiest horse but he gives his all. Incidentally, he made his debut at Lingfield on Aguero's birthday. I'm not sure Aguero knows about the horse, but if he wants to come and visit him he'd be more than welcome!
