Fergie time! Spirit Dancer reigns in Bahrain for Sir Alex Ferguson

- Spirit Dancer quickened up impressively to give owner and breeder Sir Alex Ferguson a famous victory in the 2023 Bahrain International Trophy.
The former Manchester United manager already had a special place in his affections for the Richard Fahey-trained six-year-old, having sent the unraced dam Queen’s Dream to Frankel.
While he has taken time to reach his full potential, this summer saw him win three in a row, including the Group Three Strensall Stakes at York, which booked his ticket for this contest, worth £500,000 to the winner.
Spirit Dancer was not among the favourites due to the class of the opposition, which included Charlie Appleby’s Grade One winner Nations Pride, Saeed bin Suroor’s 2022 Queen Anne runner-up Real World, Israr for the Gosdens and Aidan O’Brien’s Point Lonsdale.
All the main protagonists had their chance but none had an answer to Spirit Dancer, who when Oisin Orr unleashed him down the outside put the race to bed in a matter of strides.
Ferguson was understandably delighted, telling Racing TV: “That is the best ever, without doubt. Against all the pedigrees and form of all the other horses - that’s fantastic, I couldn’t believe it."

Great to see sir Alex full of life and his reaction says it all like he won the treble again
Well done to all concerned. Great to see Sir Alex so happy after this victory.
Thomas and I congratulate Sir Alex. Great Job with your win.
Well done to Sir Alex , Richard Fahey , and Oisin Orr .
Good win- congratulations to the joint trainers and stable staff. Good solid ride by the jockey
Well done Richard and his team
FERGEY TIME.....WELL DONE MY SON.
Get in there Richard Fahey absolutely brilliant that's why he's my favourite flat trainer
Roy Keane watched silently in his home.
Another Frankel triumph
Amazing.
November flat horses. Form goes out the window.
Great win. Good to see Alex enjoying life. Saw a news article about the race yesterday. But could not bet as at work bummer😅
Well done Alex
Won easy,no fluke about that,stop knocking the legend that is fergie
It's crazy how Ryan Moore is the only jockey who gets the best out Point Lonsdale 😂
Well we know Ryan is the best jockey in the World by winnings really this year. But Point Lonsdale was often a pacemaker when he wasn't riding
@@joemac9249He just rides him from the front or very close to the pace because he lacks any noticeable change of pace, and as you correctly point out, he's usually a second string when Moore is riding the first stable string.
@@nightowl7459 Yes the Australia progeny seem to lack that turn of foot like the Frankels obviously. The Frankels make them look like Group 3 horses. I'm surprised they didn't send this fella to Joseph OB for Hurdles. He is a nice colt all the same Point Lonsdale.
@@joemac9249 I'm not sure it is down to Australia offsprings? His brother Broome is the same, a decent galloping type but not with a noticeable change of gear, and their half brother by Frankel, Diego Velazquez doesn't look like the quickest of horses.
@@nightowl7459 Yes Diego mostlikely win the St Leger knowing Aiden. Law of averages.
Horse scored more goals than Rashford this season.
came here from rants n bants stream lmao
Frankel again
Well done sir Alex wish utd was good as your horse winning
The coverage on virgin media was terrible, dreadful unnecessary background noise, almost impossible to hear conversations. Why?
Does he actually own this one or is he in for another shock? 😂
Co-owner and joint breeder, so definitely his.
no point the kid talking to alex, ive been trying to understand him since before utd
There’s a race worth $1m every week in Australia
@@jeanlawley6483 those British and Irish horses went really well in the Melbourne Cup. 13th and 15th was it?
@@tonyt50If the rest of the world rated Australian racing half as much as they do themselves they'd be regarded as the greatest racing nation in the world. Pity they don't.
@@bordercollie1140 When we send horses to Ascot… they usually win
@@tonyt50 usually win would imply a higher than 50% win ratio. Sorry but it's not that high. Stick to Rugby Union..........ah no wait, sorry. Only joking my friend.
@@bordercollie1140 I’ll stick to test cricket and ODI haha
Fergie bred it?
Doubt it tops Rock of Gibraltar's wins....oh wait you mean for horses you actually owned Fergie 😂
Sir Alex could do with a Haircut badly
He has the hair long since suffering a brain haemorrhage in 2018. Probably has some scars from the surgery.
