The 26-year-old moved to Istanbul in the summer but still has a keen interest in horse racing.
It has been revealed the former Rangers and Liverpool star, who now plies his trade in Turkey with Fenerbahce, has a real passion for the Sport of Kings and the 26-year-old made the purchase recently at the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale in Doncaster, with bloodstock agent Daniel Creighton securing the horse for the six-figure fee.
Creighton revealed they have high hopes for the horse which is the son of Mehmas. He told the Racing Post: “We came to this sale to try to find a Royal Ascot horse, but Ryan has plans to have others that might have that bit of Classic potential as well. He has horses with Henry Candy, including Simple Man, but he’ll probably have a few more in future. He already has a Sea The Stars filly with John and Thady Gosden, and he has some in training with Ralph Beckett and Karl Burke as well.
“He has a couple of mares with us too and he’s mad into his racing. He’ll go to a pre-trainer now but there’ll be no decision made about a trainer until later on as the owner will probably have a say in where the horse goes into training.” Follow Record Sport on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.
