Sir Alex Ferguson ‘living the dream’ as his star racehorse Spirit Dancer scoops almost £1 million in Saudi Arabia

LEGENDARY Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said he was ‘living the dream’ after netting a whopping £945,000 in Saudi Arabia.

Fergie was on hand at Riyadh racecourse to cheer home his star horse Spirit Dancer as he swooped late to bag the Neom Turf Cup at the glittering Saudi Cup meeting.

Fergie grinned: “It’s fantastic, a friend of mine encouraged me to have a stud in Hemel Hempstead, we bought a mare from Andreas Wohler in Germany and you can see the results today.

“His trainer Richard (Fahey) said he would have a chance but you can never be too confident in a race like this.

“He’s a Frankel, they’ll go up mountains for you. We are living the dream, one hundred per cent.”
