- Horse bought for charity would not go in stalls at Redcar
- ‘It looks like she was being a bit of a diva – these things happen’
The Monday shops opened and brought some relief to lockdown Britain was far from a happy one for the Happy Mondays star Bez, whose venture into horse racing got off to the worst possible start when Mystic Moonshadow, the horse bought to earn money for a charity refused to race at Redcar.
Bez, real name Mark Berry, dancer and maracas-shaker for the Happy Mondays, launched his racing club last month with the aim of raising money for Manchester-based homeless charity Coffe 4 Craig but their flagship filly let them down on her very first trip to the races.
