THE world's cheapest racehorse could bag its Irish owner a bumper St Patrick's Day payday in today's Gold Cup.
Hewick cost just £800, the price of a cow, but has already earned trainer John "Shark" Hanlon nearly £400,000 in winnings.

In six months he has won the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown and the American Grand National.
