FOOTBALL superagent Kia Joorabchian will be praying for good news on his new £2million horse – after he suffered a ‘freak accident’ just minutes before the big race.
Joorabchian, who looked after players such as Carlos Tevez and Willian, splashed the huge sum on Ghostwriter at last month’s sales.

He was even money favourite for the Princess Of Wales’s Stakes at Newmarket until disaster struck.
It meant Ghostwriter was dramatically pulled from the £125,000 Group 2 on the advice of the racecourse vets.
The horse was seen limping back to his box after rearing in his box.
Trainer Clive Cox said: “It was a freak accident. We were just putting the saddle on and he reared up.
“He is clearly very lame and we won’t take part on the back of that.
“We’re very sorry for everyone and the owners – but his health is the priority.
“He was limping and we need to take care of him.”
