Wayne Rooney gets his first taste of racehorse ownership on Wednesday as Pippy makes his racecourse debut at Chester.
The England international striker and his wife, Coleen, purchased three horses to be trained by Tom Dascombe, who is based at Manor House Stables in Cheshire, a yard part-owned by Rooney's Manchester United colleague Michael Owen.
Pippy, a juvenile colt by Exceed And Excel, runs in the Lily Agnes Conditions Stakes, this year sponsored by Manor House Stables.
"Pippy is fine. He's quite a nice little horse, but we're obviously throwing him in at the deep end," said Dascombe.
"We couldn't be sure Pippy would get in the maiden later in the week so we'll try him in the Lily Agnes and see what happens.
