Former Manchester United head coach Sir Alex Ferguson has bought a stallion called Caldwell Potter at an auction for £633,000.
This made the Scot the owner of the most expensive racehorse ever sold at a public auction. The previous sum was £620,000 when the stallion called Interconnected was bought by Darren Yates in 2019.
After the purchase, Caldwell Potter will head to trainer Paul Nicholls' racetrack in Ditchit.
It should be noted that Ferguson had a passion for horse racing back during his coaching career, and after the end of his athletic career, he fully devoted himself to this activity. His horses have won numerous competitions.
In January, the Scotsman was recognized as the best trainer of the 1990s by FourFourTwo magazine.
