Alex Ferguson’s Record-Breaking Horse Set to Race After Year-Long Hiatus

Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson will soon see his prized racehorse, Caldwell Potter, return to the track, reports The Sun. The gelding, purchased by Ferguson and a group of investors for a staggering £633,000, is set to compete after a year sidelined due to injuries.

Caldwell Potter had missed several races while recovering, but has now been deemed fit to compete. Fans are eagerly anticipating his return, speculating on how well the horse will perform after the extended break.

While Ferguson’s purchase set a record at the time, it was surpassed in October 2024 when Nicky Henderson acquired the horse Palladium for an eye-watering £1.2 million.

Off the racetrack, Ferguson recently stepped down as global ambassador for Manchester United, a role he had held since 2013. He also relinquished his position as director of ACF Sports Promotions Ltd, a company he founded in 1983, handing control to his sons. The company currently boasts investments and assets valued at £24.3 million.
