www.sportbible.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent publicly available coverage.
- A January 2026 report claimed Sir Alex Ferguson’s horse Calf du Bourlay was involved in a race incident and euthanized after a collision; this was framed as Ferguson losing a beloved horse. This is a sports/horse-racing news item rather than football news. [citation]
- Other outlets in early 2026 flagged Ferguson’s continued involvement in horse ownership, with multiple horses under his banner and ongoing Cheltenham-related activity, though details about specific incidents or outcomes vary by source. [citation][4]
- Earlier coverage (2023–2024) highlighted Ferguson’s ownership and ambition in international racing, including Spirit Dancer and Protektorat among his notable horses, with events tied to Cheltenham and Bahrain racing. [citation][5]
- A range of sources over 2024–2025 described the broader narrative of Ferguson’s racing portfolio, including high-profile horses like Rock of Gibraltar in past years and ongoing racing involvement into 2025. [citation][8]
If you’d like, I can narrow to:
