Rob Burrow is to embark on a new fundraising effort when a racehorse named after him makes his debut at Doncaster next Tuesday in front of the former rugby league star and his family.
Beep Beep Burrow, which was also Burrow’s nickname when he played for Leeds Rhinos, is a five-year-old chestnut gelding with four white socks.
He will become the new figurehead of the campaign to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association, replacing Burrow Seven who has been retired due to injury after four races. Burrow, 40, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2019, two years after retiring from rugby league.
