Former soccer star Michael Owen has had his first ride in a race at Ascot overnight in which he finished second.
Michael Owen had his first ever race ride in a charity event at Ascot and judging by his performance he is not quite as good in the saddle as he was on the pitch but he still managed to finish a close second in the race.
Owen had to drop 20 pounds to ride one of the more fancied runners in the race which was an organised race to raise money for charity.
Checkout his ride below, he is on the horse which runs second.
