Bez, born Mark Berry, launches his own racing club "Bez's Racing Club", and visits his horse " Mystic Moonshadow " at his stables in North Yorkshire., Bez who looked every part the Horse owner, kitted out in a Holland and Cooper Finsbury Over Coat and matching cap commented, “Growing up in Salford I never dreamed I would part-own a thoroughbred racehorse. The closest I ever got to racing action was a Dick Francis novel. To have the opportunity now to launch my own racing club and throw myself into this new adventure is amazing - unexpected, but very amazing., “I’m launching the club for anyone that fancies being involved in racing but who’s never been able to afford a horse, or for people that think that racing is too posh or exclusive for them. If the sport will let me in, it’s open for everyone!, “I fell in love with the idea of launching it after becoming a member of Burrow Seven, the racing club set up for Rugby League player Rob Burrow. It was such a good idea, and I’m always looking for adventures and new ways of having fun, so I thought let’s get stuck into this racing game., “The beauty of the club is that you get all the perks of being a racehorse owner without any of the unexpected costs. We’ll get to follow the success of Mystic Moonshadow as she starts her racing career. Everyone will get updates on her training and development, and we can all watch her live from the racecourse with lots of behind-the-scenes gossip. I can’t wait, “When lockdown lifts, I’ll be offering competitions to come and join me on race days to raise a glass as we watch her from the owner’s enclosure or to visit her at the yard where she lives. It’s going to be such a brilliant year-long experience. It’s just what we all need to get us through these depressing COVID times. I’m really buzzing about it., “Obviously, I can’t promise we’re going to be winners, but I can promise that we’re going to have a lot of fun, some great days out and hopefully we’ll all make some good friends as we get involved in the world of racing. I’d love everyone to come and join me on this adventure.”, Mystic Moonshadow is a promising two year old flat racing filly, sired by Showcasing, who won the Gimcrack Stakes at York where he broke the course record. Showcasing is the only stallion to have sired two Royal Ascot Group 1 Commonwealth Cup winners and he also sired 24 individual two-year-old winners in 2020. His dam, Dream of Joy, placed twice at two and three years.
