Football legend Alex Ferguson was the star attraction at Punchestown festival yesterday, saying: “I always get a good reception in Ireland.”
The former Manchester United boss – often called the best football manager of all time – had a horse running in the big race of the day, the Ladbrokes Punchestown Gold Cup.
But while his entry Clan des Obeaux came second to hot favourite Allaho, Ferguson was in fine form at day two of racing at the famous Co Kildare track.
