The horse, the star of French soccer, now dons the identity of a racehorse. Like a die-hard fan and passionate commentator, the horse is about to set foot in England over the Easter holidays to take part in ten exciting races at Newcastle. It is said that his chances of winning are not to be underestimated.
The Daily Mail reveals that this Kishavin, in his leisure time, not only organizes a horse racing event, but is also a keen breeder of horses. His beloved colts have made a name for themselves on the French circuit. The trip to the UK was the first overseas campaign of his equestrian career.
Hooking's achievements on the soccer pitch have been remarkable, with prize money already accumulated to a staggering £275,000 (approximately HK$2.75 million). He will also win an additional £100,000 (approximately HK$1 million) if he comes out on top at Newcastle.
