Ferguson, 83, said, “You can’t buy as I feel now, it’s great.
“The difference in football is if you buy an expensive player, you have a long time to value them, make the type of player you need and what will be adapted to your team and have the character; you cannot do it with a horse, you cannot look at his character, so it is a play.
“With a footballer, it is a long-term thing, they can start at the age of 17 and play up to 41, like Ryan Giggs, while with a horse, when they reach 10, 11, 12, begin to ask how long they will last.
“No matter how hard this horse lasts, he has done something today we are so proud.”

The six-year-old right began as a 16-1 opportunity for newbies and after a false start, he pushed the hill to achieve a long half victory.
Blackmore, setting up his 17th festival winner, said: “It’s an incredible feeling. I read an interview with JP Mcmanus when he said some people are born fortunate than others and, of course, I feel that I was born fortunate to go here.
“I have been lucky with the horses I have to ride and this mare is another. He traveled through the race and jumped well and headed in front of the right time.”
Having to wait until the festival’s three for a winner, Blackmore said, “We can’t miss the faith, we’re just half a week. We’ve been a little spoiled in recent years, since every Tuesday I went home with a winner under the belt. It wasn’t the case this year, but I’m really grateful to get a today.”
However, he did not have much time to wait, as Bob Olinger won last year’s winner, Teahupoo, in an exciting battle of obstacles.
“I am fortunate to be on this horse. It’s bright. He has so much speed and could use it, “he said.
