Rangers Fans.. Joey Barton Owns a Horse Called Wearethepeople

Joey Barton‘s new horse Wearethepeople is set to run at Newbury tomorrow night – in a race which should interest Rangers fans.

The new Ibrox midfielder is a big horse racing fan and has owned a number in the past.

But his latest is a hat tip to his new club, as it’s named Wearethepeople and is set to run for the first time tomorrow.

The meeting is at Newbury at 7pm and will see the horse run in the Novice Stakes 6f 8y – with several bookies listing Barton’s entry, but not yet offering any odds:

That probably won’t stop Rangers fans backing the horse at whatever starting price comes out tomorrow – and hoping he can bring them some good luck given the name and the owner.

Barton’s horse is just the latest thing to endear him to the Ibrox faithful following his move from Burnley earlier this summer.

The English midfielder has already poked fun at Celtic rival Scott Brown twice and has regularly spoken about Rangers on Twitter since signing for Mark Warburton.

If his horse can bag fans some money as well then it’s pretty much the perfect start for Barton.
