Reigning darts world champion Luke Littler and fellow star Stephen Bunting are set to make their mark on the racing scene with their newly acquired racehorse, Bunting Mental. The duo has joined forces with renowned trainer Hugo Palmer, who has a history of working with sports personalities, including footballers James Milner and Danny Welbeck, as well as racing enthusiast Michael Owen. Littler, who was spotted at the Cheltenham Festival, has partnered with Bunting and Owen to co-own the Ardad-sired horse. Palmer expressed his enthusiasm for having sports personalities on board, stating that it adds an exciting element to the racing experience.
Although it won't directly impact the horse's performance, it promises to be an enjoyable venture. Bunting Mental is expected to make his debut in the summer. Palmer described the horse as 'a nice horse' with promising potential, and Littler and Bunting are eager to embark on this new journey, showcasing their passion for racing.
