Renowned darts players Luke Littler and Stephen Bunting are set to take the racing world by storm with their recent acquisition of a racehorse named Bunting Mental. The horse will be trained by the esteemed Hugo Palmer, who has a proven track record of working with sports personalities, including footballers James Milner and Danny Welbeck, and is also the landlord of racing enthusiast Michael Owen. Littler, the reigning world champion, has joined forces with Bunting and Owen in this exciting new venture, which promises to bring a fresh dynamic to the sport.
Palmer expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that it will undoubtedly generate interest when the horses compete. Although the horse's name, Bunting Mental, is a nod to the darts theme, Palmer is confident in the horse's abilities, describing it as a 'nice horse' with a promising future. The training team is eagerly anticipating the horse's debut, which is expected to take place in the summer.
