ARSENAL fans can score with Gooner Boy at Kempton tonight.
The horse runs in the colours of football superagent Kia Joorabchian for his Amo Racing stable.
Gooner Boy looks a potential superstar, being a £260,000 buy and turning out for top trainer John Gosden in the 6.45.
Legendary horseman Gosden has more than 3,000 winners and last weekend won the world’s richest race with Mishriff.
That landed him a mega £7.3million first-place prize – although jockey David Egan was docked £71,000 for breaking whip rules during the star-studded Saudi Cup contest.
Gosden and Joorabchian – who looks after Arsenal stars Willian and David Luiz – could be celebrating after Gooner Boy’s run tonight.
The three-year-old is making his debut over the 1m4f trip and has been installed as hot favourite at 10-11.
Templegate has also picked him out as a winner in his rundown of today’s racing.
Jockey Nicky Mackay – who has one win from three rides in the past fortnight – gets the mount.
Gooner Boy’s sire is the legendary Sea The Stars, who charges just under £130,000 a go at covering a mare.
And punters can back the horse in a double with Arsenal to beat Benfica on Thursday evening.
That pays 3-1 with Paddy Power at time of publication, although that price is subject to change.
