“Having grown up in Cheshire and lived there for most of my life, I feel a real affinity for the county. Cheshire has so much to offer and I am very lucky in that I can still live in the area. Growing up as a kid my father used to take me to Chester Races and I still thoroughly enjoy a day out at the racecourse during the summer. Indeed, my love of horseracing has developed so much that I have set up a racehorse training facility near Malpas, Manor House Stables, where one of the leading trainers, Tom Dascombe, is based”
Michael Owen, Manchester United & England
