Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) COULD we soon be talking about Tyson Fury the legendary boxer - and Grand National-winning horse owner? That dream recently took a step closer after it was confirmed the former heavyweight king has moved into jumps racing.

But now Fury is keen for success in the National Hunt game - after buying two horses for £50,000 and sending them into training with Jimmy Moffatt. Top bloodstock agent Jerry McGrath signed for former Joseph O'Brien horse Cossack Chach at the Goffs UK October Sale in Doncaster last year. Fury and Brown splashed £36,000 on the two-time winner and also bought £14,000 Sea The Clouds, who's already won at Moffatt's local track Cartmel. Bosses at the Lancashire venue - not far from Fury's Morecambe home - are busy planning for the boxer's possible arrival during one of their summer racedays. Fury - who is reportedly eyeing up a mega-fight with Anthony Joshua - has been to Cartmel races before but not with two potential runners of this quality. Speaking to the Racing Post, trainer Moffatt - who landed one of most ridiculous wins ever on The Steward at Newcastle - said: "I met Spencer at Cartmel races last August and he said he wanted to go through Cartmel this summer. "Tyson has not been to the yard yet but there was talk he was going to make an appearance at Cartmel this summer, although I see they're getting busy again now. "I saw him at the track three years ago so he's certainly been there at least once." Moffatt has high confidence Sea The Clouds - who he said was a 'steal' at the price - will love the fast summer conditions. He was beaten just a nose over 2m6f at Cartmel in May - and won at the track for his previous trainer Jamie Snowden this time last year. Coassack Chach, a five-year-old gelding, is 'more of a chasing type and hopefully we'll have a bit of fun with him'. Moffatt added: "We're giving him a couple of months off before starting him for a proper winter campaign. "He's a proper chaser – a great big horse with a big engine."
