SKOR.id – Saat Manchester United kandas di tangan Fulham FC, 1-2, dalam lanjutan Liga Inggris, Sabtu (24/2/2024), mantan pelatih legendaris mereka Sir Alex Ferguson justru mampu “mewujudkan mimpinya” di Arab Saudi pada waktu yang nyaris bersamaan. 

Fergie hadir di arena pacuan kuda Riyadh untuk menyemangati kuda bintangnya, Spirit Dancer – yang ia awasi langsung saat dibesarkan – berlomba dan berhasil merebut Neom Turf Cup di ajang Saudi Cup yang gemerlap.

Keberhasilan Spirit Dancer memenangi balapan membuat Fergie berhak mengantongi hadiah uang hingga 945 ribu poundsterling (sekira Rp18,68 miliar) di Arab Saudi. 

Ini adalah hadiah uang besar kedua yang dimenangi Spirit Dancer dalam hitungan bulan, setelah Fergie dan dua rekan pemiliknya, Ged Mason dan Peter Done, juga mendapatkan 500 ribu poundsterling di Bahrain pada bulan November lalu.

Fergie mengungkapkan, tulang rusuknya patah saat merayakan hasil balapan di Bahrain itu setelah Mason mengangkatnya ke udara dengan pelukan beruang. Beruntung, kali ini di Arab Saudi pelukan beruang itu tidak terlihat. Namun, alat bantu dengar Fergie tampak terjatuh saat perayaan! 

Di atas kertas, sepertinya Spirit Dancer akan menghadapi tugas berat mengalahkan salah satu favorit Luxembourg. Namun menjelang finis pada balapan sejauh 2.100 meter di King Abdulaziz Racecourse itu, Spirit Dancer dengan joki Oisin Orr berhasil melesat di P1.

Ferguson telah meraih banyak kesuksesan dengan kuda pacuan di masa lalu, termasuk dengan Rock Of Gibraltar yang menjadi juara di Flat pada awal tahun 2000-an, dan pemenang ganda King George, Clan Des Obeaux.

Tetapi, kemenangan di Riyadh ini istimewa mengingat Fergie ikut membiakkan sendiri kuda itu – yang ayahnya adalah kuda pacu hebat Frankel – bersama Niall McLoughlin, yang mengelola Upperwood Farm Stud milik pria Skotlandia itu di dekat Hertfordshire.

“Kami mewujudkan impian itu, seratus persen. Sungguh luar biasa, seorang teman mendorong saya untuk memelihara pejantan di Hemel Hempstead,” ujar Sir Alex seperti dikutip The Sun.

“Kami lalu membeli seekor kuda betina dari pelatih Andreas Wohler di Jerman dan Anda dapat melihat hasilnya hari ini dengan kuda ini.

“Pelatihnya Richard (Fahey) mengatakan Spirit Dancer akan memiliki peluang. Tetapi Anda tidak akan pernah terlalu percaya diri dalam balapan seperti ini.” 

Sir Alex Ferguson belum lama ini memecahkan rekor dunia biaya yang dibayarkan untuk seekor kuda National Hunt ketika menghabiskan 633 ribu pounds untuk membeli Caldwell Potter pada penjualan di Irlandia.

Impian utama kuda itu – yang kini telah beralih dari Gordon Elliott ke Paul Nicholls dan akan melewatkan Festival Cheltenham – adalah memenangi Piala Emas di Cheltenham.

National Hunt sendiri merupakan pacuan kuda yang mengharuskan kuda melompati sejumlah penghalang, dan hanya digelar di Inggris Raya, Prancis, dan Rep Irlandia.
