Chelsea and England star’s dad splashes out £300k on horse… with debut race TOMORROW


THE father of Chelsea and England star Noni Madueke will be hoping his near £300,000 investment in a racing horse pays off when it debuts tomorrow.

Ify Madueke, who has been involved in horse racing for a number of years, will see his Havana Grey filly Oliaku race at Yarmouth on Thursday.

The horse has been trained by Michael Bell and will debut over five furlongs in the 3:25pm race.

Ify splashed just shy of £300,000 on the horse which has high hopes for its debut race.

Nick Bell, son of trainer Michael, told the Racing Post: “She’s going to the old man.

“She’s been bought for Ify Madueke, who’s the dad of the Chelsea player Noni Madueke.

“He bought a yearling with us last year and he’s a real enthusiast so he’s dying to get a good horse to Ascot. She ticks every box and came highly recommended.”

Ify has invested in horses before with the footballer’s dad previously spending over £70,000 on Princess Chizara in 2023.

Ify will be hoping for a surprise win tomorrow as Oliaku ranks as third favourite heading into the race.

Meanwhile his son is gearing up for a big few weeks too as Chelsea try and secure a major trophy and Champions League qualification.
