Just a curious note Is funny to find in horse racing all those names. There are horses called: Batistuta Figo Goycochea Rey Pele Caniggia Mr Figo Ronaldo Maradona I will pay attention to the next horse racing to see if I find out some others. So there should be more animalas with the name of footballers but I think horses are specials to this.
Another horse- footballer on the ride: Morientes. I guess one fact why people put footballer`s names to horses due to the speed and strenght of the players, and the prestige this animals have.
