Reigning darts world champion Luke Littler and fellow darts sensation Stephen Bunting are set to make their mark on the racing world, having recently acquired a stake in the racehorse Bunting Mental. The horse will be trained by renowned trainer Hugo Palmer, who has a history of working with high-profile sports personalities, including footballers James Milner and Danny Welbeck, as well as England legend Michael Owen.
Littler, who was spotted enjoying the Cheltenham Festival, has partnered with Bunting and Owen to co-own the Ardad-sired horse. Palmer expressed his excitement about having sports personalities from various fields as owners, stating that it adds an interesting dynamic to the sport.
Although it won't directly impact the horse's performance, it's expected to be an enjoyable experience. Bunting Mental is currently in training and is anticipated to make his debut in the summer. Palmer has been impressed with the horse's progress so far, describing him as a nice horse with potential.
