Luke Littler Going Bunting Mental About Racehorse Ownership
On Thursday, April 23, 2026, darts stars Luke Littler and Stephen Bunting purchased a racehorse named Bunting Mental, trained by Hugo Palmer.
Trainer Hugo Palmer previously managed Seagulls Eleven for a syndicate including Brighton & Hove Albion's James Milner and Danny Welbeck, while England football great Michael Owen also joins this new venture.
The son of Ardad is described as a "nice horse" by Palmer, who added, "It's not going to make them run any faster, but it's all good fun."
Littler and Bunting are currently in Liverpool for the 12th night of the Premier League season, hoping to secure points needed to qualify for next month's Finals Night.
Palmer noted the owners are "very enthusiastic and up for it" regarding the racing journey, having communicated with the darts stars via WhatsApp about the horse.
