POP legend Bez has suffered an unhappy Monday when he visited a North-East racecourse today to watch his horse run in the first race.
The Happy Monday’s maraca-player and dancer travelled to Redcar to see filly Mystic Moonshadow run in the colours of his new racing club.
Bez – real name Mark Berry – launched Bez’s Racing Club at the end of March and describes Mystic Moonshadow as “the most magical, beautiful horse I’ve ever set eyes on”.
However, the filly refused to enter the stalls and didn’t race.
Bez was philosophical afterwards saying: “She was just being a bit of a diva, so it’s all a bit disappointing. That said, it’s all about the experience and, hopefully, it’ll be a different story next time. I suppose it’s turned out to be an Unhappy Monday but that’s how it goes.”
