Man Utd legend Sir Alex Ferguson was in good spirits as he enjoyed a day out at Goodwood races.
The record-breaking football manager joked around with jockey Frankie Dettori before seeing one of his horses compete. Paddy's Day, who Fergie owns with several others including 13-time champion jumps trainer Paul Nicholls and multi-millionaire Utd fan Ged Mason, ran in the Coral Beaten-By-A-Length Free Bet Nursery.
But the high-profile group of owners, persuaded to buy the horse on a night out with trainer Charlie Hills in Barbados, were out of luck as the sprinter could only finish eighth.
