International footballer Javier Pastore joins the ranks of racehorse owners

21 October 2021

Javier Pastore

Pastore played for Paris Saint-Germain from 2011 to 2018 and won five Ligue 1 titles with the club. He first became involved in horseracing in April 2021 when he became a part-owner of Lorenzo De Medici.
However, from today, he will run horses in his own colours, which are blue with a white star, with white sleeves dotted with blue stars and a blue cap.

Athletes love horseracing
French horseraces attract more and more athletes: In the last two years, about ten currently active and former athletes have joined the growing family of racehorse owners, including footballers Antoine Griezmann, Clément Lenglet, M’Baye Niang, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, basketball player Nicolas Batum, former basketball player Tony Parker, pole vaulter Renaud Lavillenie, Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc, as well as French equestrian Astier Nicolas. Many others are expected to join them.
