They have already enjoyed success on the track, winning on the Flat at Chelmsford in May.
And Fury took his wife Paris and four of their seven kids to the Doncaster Racecourse.

She is a 10-1 shot in Doncaster - ridden by Group 1-winning jockey Luke Morris.

He said: "I do miss it, every single day I wake up in the morning and miss it.
"I've been away seven months, missed it everyday. I'm open to offers at the moment.
"I'm not going to be doing any comebacks this year, that's for sure. I'm busy as you can see I've got Netflix here.
"I'm filming At Home With The Furys season two. Come on! And then next year the big GK is going to make a f***ing comeback.
"The takeover! I'm gonna be 37 in about three weeks so I'm going to be the oldest swinger with all these young boys coming up it's going to be difficult. But I believe I can put on some very good nights still."

Wild moment Rangers hero Nico Raskin booked vs Plzen despite not being on the pitch
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NICO Raskin's name was on everyone's lips on Tuesday night when the little Belgian was left OUT of Russell Martin's starting line-up for the Champions League third qualifying round tie. And he also ended up in referee Clement Turpin's book - even though he wasn't even on the pitch at that point. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 2 Rangers sub Nico Raskin interferes with throw in taken by Sampson Dweh.. 2 Nico Raskin earns the booking from Mr Turpin It wasn't until the hour mark that the Rangers talisman made it onto the pitch against Plzen, exchanging a handshake with Martin then getting a decent ovation from the fans as he ran onto the pitch. But by that point he had already got a booking to his name, after a frankly bizarre incident as the Czech side attempted to take a throw in. Raskin looked perplexed to be shown the yellow card as he lightly pushed Sampson Dweh on the arm as he went to take a throw in in front of the main stand. It was unclear whether the decision was for dissent or interfering with the taking of the throw. But picking up such a cheap booking might not have endeared him any further to his manager Martin. Earlier Martin had sought to explain the four changes he made to his starting line-up, saying the changes were "just for freshness, just for energy in the team, for balance in the team, to approach it in the right way. "Then we have some really good options on the bench as well. I think it's huge [for the players coming into the team]. "It's a very important game for us for so many reasons. "We need to improve on the performance on the weekend and we have a real opportunity to put a stamp on this game over the two legs."

Ferrari told to snub Oliver Bearman for 'super' F1 rookie to replace Lewis Hamilton
Lewis Hamilton raised doubts over his own Formula 1 future at the Hungarian Grand Prix when he responded to his qualifying nightmare by saying Ferrari 'should change driver' Bernie Ecclestone thinks Ferrari should look towards two Formula 1 rookies when identifying a potential replacement for Lewis Hamilton. But the 94-year-old former F1 supremo did not mention the name of Oliver Bearman who is the one actually being prepared by Ferrari as Hamilton's eventual successor. Hamilton's future is firmly in the spotlight right now as a result of his comments at the Hungarian Grand Prix. After qualifying 12th in Budapest, the seven-time F1 champion declared himself "useless" and said his team "probably need to change driver". His mood was not much better a day later when he failed to make any progress in the race and finished where he started, one lap down on the leaders. But Hamilton did at least tell reporters that he would be back after the summer break and that he still loves racing. Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur has also jumped to the defence of his driver and it is understood that the team is not even beginning to entertain the idea of replacing Hamilton, either during this season or before the end of his contract which currently runs until the end of 2026. If they were to make a change, they would in theory turn to one of their reserve drivers, Zhou Guanyu and Antonio Giovinazzi, both of whom are former F1 racers with Sauber, or British academy graduate Bearman who is currently plying his trade with customer team Haas and who is seen as Hamilton's eventual successor. But Bernie Ecclestone believes there are a couple of other rookies on the grid who should also be considered. "If I could steal him, I would take Isack Hadjar from Racing Bulls," the former F1 supremo told Mail Sport. "He has done super well in his first year and is a great guy. I also rate our friend from Brazil [Sauber driver Gabriel Bortoleto ]. He is talented. Both of them are sensible, too." While it is unlikely that Hamilton will give up on his dream of winning an eighth F1 title just yet, Ecclestone believes it is time for the 40-year-old to move on. He said: "Lewis is very talented, was and probably still is. But, like a lot of leading sports personalities when they reach the top, there is only one way to go, and it is not a good direction. It is only down. Sky Sports launches discounted Formula 1 package This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.

He needs a rest from it for good, a total reset to do something completely different. He may not think it, but he will soon get used to doing other stuff away from motor racing in retirement. I think he should have done it a while ago. The guy is not a cheat. But he would be cheating himself if he goes on. He should stop now. "If I were looking after him I would negotiate with Ferrari immediately and say, 'If you have someone to replace Lewis, he will step aside. He is not fighting for a World championship and is at a stage of his life when it would not be worth him spending two years laid up in bed with a broken back or anything else nasty. He does not need to take the risk any longer. He has won seven world titles and that is quite enough."

Lauren Bell says India contests stand England in good stead for World Cup
Under new head coach Charlotte Edwards, England completed a clean sweep against the West Indies before falling to defeat against India. England were beaten 3-2 in the T20 series and 2-1 in the ODIs, but with the World Cup fast approaching, Bell insisted there is plenty to learn from this summer. She told the PA news agency: 'We've obviously had two fairly different series this summer. We had the West Indies that everyone performed really well and India challenged us a little bit more. England Women's Summer 2025 ✅ Not the ending we wanted but some amazing moments throughout and we appreciate all the support 🩷 World Cup 🔜🔜🔜 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 22, 2025 'It's exciting seeing that we're going to come up against some of the best teams and I think situations like the India series we just had is great preparation really. You learn so much more when you play against top teams. 'It's really exciting where we're at as a team, where we're going and obviously we're working super hard. We've got a few things that everyone, I guess, is going to work on moving forwards to that World Cup. 'It's an exciting time to be part of this team.' This year's World Cup takes place in India and Sri Lanka and England open their campaign on October 3 with a clash against South Africa in Bengaluru. The tournament is England's first under Edwards, who has just completed her first summer in charge and Bell has enjoyed working with a familiar face. Charlotte Edwards took over as England head coach at the start of the year (Martin Rickett/PA) 'It's been great, I've worked with Lot for a number of years because she was down at Hampshire and the Southern Brave,' Bell added. 'She's been great, she's got this ethos of winning and performance-based selection, which obviously takes a bit of getting used to with a new coach and the way she goes about things. 'She's obviously got a vast amount of experience and a really successful start to her coaching. 'It's been great, the way she manages everyone and speaks to us is really exciting. It's really cool to be a part of what she's hopefully pushing this team to do and to succeed.' England face a busy 12 month period with the 50-over World Cup and home games over the summer before the T20 World Cup starts next. Bell is 'super excited' for a home World Cup next year (Steven Paston/PA) Next year's tournament follows the 2022 European Championship and the upcoming Women's Rugby World Cup as another major women's sporting event being held on British soil. Looking ahead to the T20 World Cup, Bell said: 'Super excited, I think any player wants to play at a home World Cup. I think it's so cool with family and friends around and hopefully (can) put women's cricket on a platform at home. 'It's so important bringing it to the home venues and getting them hopefully sold out and people being able to see the sport. 'The more we can get it accessible to people to watch, the more they'll be like 'this is pretty cool, I want to get involved' and start playing. It's such a massive opportunity for cricket in England.'
