Racehorse owned by TikTok star Big John that costs £60 a share branded ‘terrible' after beating one rival in three races
A RACEHORSE owned by TikTok star Big John has been branded 'terrible' after beating just one rival home in three races. Shares in two-year-old filly Bosh Soldier cost £60 each and give you 0.05 per cent of the horse. Advertisement 3 Viral TikTok star Big John is co-owner of a horse punters can buy a share in for £60 - but is yet to return a penny on the track 3 The social media sensation found fame with his massive Chinese orders 3 Bosh Soldier has beaten just one horse in three runs and lost by a combined 97 lengths - but could prove a totally different animal now she qualifies for handicaps Viral sensation Big John, who has found fame for his colossal Chinese orders and 'Bosh!' catchphrase, has been used in promotion of the runner. Wearing ill-fitting silks, a jockey cap and goggles, he appeared in one video championing the filly and said: "I'm Big John and I'm here to see the Bosh Soldier!" But after being bought by 14-time Champion Jumps Trainer Paul Nicholls' daughter Meg for a shade over £24,000, Bosh Soldier is yet to earn a penny on the track. Trained by the respected George Boughey, who won the 1,000 Guineas with Cachet in 2022, Bosh Soldier has raced three times. Advertisement She finished last of seven on debut at Yarmouth in May when sent off 18-1 under former Champion Apprentice jockey Billy Loughnane. Her next outing came a month later at Chelmsford when she finished last again over six furlongs at odds of 66-1. Then, at Newmarket this month, Bosh Soldier was sent off 150-1 under jockey Grace McEntee for a seven furlong maiden for fillies. She was always behind and finished totally tailed off, beaten a massive 50 lengths with only one horse behind her. Advertisement Most read in Horse Racing Bosh Soldier qualifies for an official rating now and she may well prove a totally different prospect thrown into handicaps. Especially as shrewd trainer Boughey has shown in the past he knows exactly how to place one to win. But Bosh Soldier's performances - and the cost of shares - have caught the attention of some punters. Especially given she has been beaten a combined 97 lengths on her three runs. Advertisement One punter said she had looked 'terrible' on the track while another wrote on X: "This filly has been running like Big John has been riding her himself." What the owners say about Bosh Soldier Anyone can buy a share in Bosh Soldier, with prices starting at £60. Here's what Racing Club, who run the syndicate, have to say about the horse... Calling all Bosh Soldiers! Introducing our first horse to be based in Newmarket, Bosh Soldier, who is in training with Classic winning trainer George Boughey. This stunning chestnut filly is in collaboration with John Fisher, AKA Big John – hence the name Bosh Soldier! The two-year-old has a striking pedigree, having been sired by Sergei Prokofiev, who was a Group 3 winner and placed in Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot . Since being sent to stud, he has sired the likes of Arizona Blaze (Group 3 winner and Group 1 runner-up) and Enchanting Empress (Listed winner). Sergei Prokofiev's sire Scat Daddy was a two-time Grade 1 winner and has been a phenomenal source of producing horses with plenty of raw speed. With plenty of pace in her pedigree, we're confident that Bosh Soldier will have the speed to blitz her rivals! Bosh Soldier is our first horse in training in Newmarket, which is considered the 'headquarters' of horse racing, as well as being our first horse with trainer George Boughey. The Group 1-winning trainer has gone from strength to strength since saddling his first winner in 2019, and we cannot wait to see him train Bosh Soldier, who looks set for a productive two-year-old campaign in 2025. The syndicate consists of 2,000 shares, with each share purchased equating to a 0.05 per cent shareholding in Bosh Soldier. In fairness, Racing Club VIP, who run the syndicate, have made clear before each of Bosh Soldier's runs that they have been about her gaining experience. And prior to her most recent outing, Boughey said: "Bosh Soldier is yet to show on the track what she's been showing us at home. "She's still a work in progress, but she's got ability." Advertisement Syndicates are a great way to get into racing and this year has shown how good the horses can be. Middleham Park Pacing have finished runner-up in the Derby and Irish Derby with Lazy Griff, winning more than £500,000 in the process. While social media star Basher Watts won the French 1,000 Guineas with Shes Perfect - before the result was overturned in the stewards' room. So while Bosh Soldier is yet to return a profit, there is hope for the future at least. Advertisement And she has some eyecatching entries. Bosh Soldier has been put in the Somerville Auction Stakes at Newmarket on August 23, where victory is worth more than £50,000. And she could line up in October's Tattersalls October Auction Stakes, where a win would net owners £80,000. Either of those would certainly pay for a few takeaways.

🚨 Official: Tomás Conechny leaves Alavés to sign for Racing
It's been several days since the news was known, but this Friday it was made official: Tomás Conechny terminated his contract with Alavés, where he played in the 24/25 season, and returns to Argentine football, to wear the jersey of Racing Club. The team of Gustavo Costas went to the market in search of offensive reinforcements, after the controversial departure of Maximiliano Salas, and Conechny, a 27-year-old left winger, was the one chosen by the Academy. Advertisement Conechny arrives to sign with Racing The player from Comodoro Rivadavia started in the youth teams of San Lorenzo and also played for Almagro, but his best performance was in Godoy Cruz, where he played between 2023 and 2024. At Godoy Cruz, he played 61 games, scored 14 goals, and gave 10 assists, which earned him his move to Europe. In that cycle at Godoy Cruz, he formed a great duo with Hernán López Muñoz - who was also on the Academy's radar but will finally join Argentinos Juniors - in a team that was a protagonist of the 2023 Liga Profesional (finishing in 5th place in the Annual Table). Advertisement In Alavés, he didn't manage to consolidate himself, and was alternating in the team, so now he's making a comeback and dreams of regaining his rhythm in Costas' team, which is preparing to compete in the Liga Profesional and also the Copa Libertadores. The figures of the agreement between Racing and Alavés have not been officially disclosed, although it is mentioned that the Academy would have paid around 4 million euros for Conechny. Half of the transfer fee was paid by Alavés, while the other 50% belongs to Godoy Cruz, which will receive a share of the agreement.
