Oct. 7. Charlie Johnston, son of and assistant to trainer Mark Johnston, said, "Lumiere is not going to America, but we have entered her in the Hong Kong Mile and that is in the back of our minds at the moment. America would come a bit too soon for her. We will just see how she is, as that meeting is not until December. If she is fit, well and healthy then it is a definite possibility. A mile on quick ground on a fairly sharp track should suit her perfectly."

But Michael Owen was never just the soccer equivalent of those sharp, early juveniles so beloved of his stable nowadays, blazing along the rail at its big local meeting at Chester in May. Yes, as every English fan has lamented, the second half of Owen's career was wretchedly punctuated by injury. Towards the end, he had to depend on his own footballing acuity to redress that erosion of his cutting edge. But if he started out as a Royal Ascot colt, he retired as a true Classic Thoroughbred among footballers, the only Englishman to score in four major tournaments and the only one to win the Ballon d'Or since 1979. Above all, however, he was not just quick to mature on the pitch. Owen was also ahead of the curve when it came to planning for a life after football. True, the racecourse would not always be the most sensible resort for a wealthy young man. But while Owen admittedly owed his original curiosity to betting, he has since become unmistakably immersed in the life and soul of the Turf.

Owen Staying Ahead of the Curve cont. from p1 Only 24 when laying the foundations of a racing stable on a Cheshire farm, he was able to retire in 2013 unfazed by a challenge that finds many other footballers perilously unprepared. He has, indeed, secured the best of both worlds: remaining engaged with the soccer community, on the one hand, not only as a pundit on BT Sport but also through a management company for young talent; and, on the other, consolidating an ambitious partnership at Manor House Stables with Andrew Black, co-founder of Betfair, and their trainer Tom Dascombe. "In terms of playing football, I was finished at 33--and maybe there's two-thirds of your life ahead of you," he tells TDN. "What then? People think: 'Oh, if I was on that kind of money I'd play golf every day and be perfectly happy.' But nobody would really want to do that. You've got to be active, to keep the mind stimulated." He had, moreover, had ample opportunity to observe older players who had failed to see the abyss looming. Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney "I've seen how at Chester | racingfotos.com people can throw it all away, and it can be very sad," he says. "You don't need me to name names, it's all over the papers all the time. From the beginning they've seen their mates buying nice cars, nice houses, and they've done the same. And then you see that self-destruct button, you see what boredom or bad advice can do, a couple of divorces maybe. I have to be careful here, I don't want anyone to think I'm playing a violin or anything. But people have that sloppy view of footballers, that they're all making an absolute fortune. They forget that a lot of players might only be on those kind of wages from maybe 22 to 30, and I know plenty who have suddenly got to 40 and realised they can't go on any more without working." Already having a blueprint for the future, moreover, Owen was able to stand back and recognise the kind of cue to which other professional athletes, in panicked denial, often remain deaf for too long. "I had a decision to make: either go lower or get out," he recalls. "Yes, in many ways I'd been like a precocious 2-year-old. But after the first six or eight years, whatever it was, it gradually became a matter of clinging on. Eventually I wasn't playing too much, in my final season at Manchester United, and then I wasn't playing that much when I went to Stoke, either.@ Cont. p3 TDN EUROPE/INTERNATIONAL • PAGE 3 OF 12 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • 26 OCTOBER, 2016

"When I was 26 or wrong: I've seen plenty of people I really admire who, for the 27, and starting to lose a bit of speed--I'd had a couple of bad love of the game, just want to keep playing and don't mind at injuries, wasn't the flying machine I'd once been--people were what level. But that wasn't for me. I'd been the playground bully saying: 'Look at him, he's got his eyes on other things now.' If I for years, and everyone knows that those never like being didn't score a hat-trick, it was because I was too interested in bullied themselves. And that was the way I felt, chasing around racing. You can't win, of course: if people see you planning for Anfield and Old Trafford with Stoke. So I said to myself: 'You the future, they say you're taking your eye off the ball; and if need to get out before your head explodes.'" they see that you're not, they say you're stupid."

But there’s change in the air in France this year, and with the rebuilding of its ancestral home, the action shifts to Chantilly. We’ll take you through the town’s fabled training grounds, and recommend our favorite Paris neighborhood retreat. Elsewhere in Europe, we visit with a Newmarket clas- sic: 83-year-old owner Bill Gredley—the businessman behind Unex—who has his eye on this year’s Melbourne Cup with his Big Orange. Stateside, uberchef Bobby Flay gives us his rec- ommendations on dinner reservations if you’re headed to the Breeders’ Cup next month, and there are great things hap- pening in Maryland racing, both at Laurel and at Sagamore Farm. And finally, France-Galop’s new chief Olivier Delloye spills the beans on his favorite things about France…and just how much Pavlova it’s advisable to eat.
