So Paddy Power owns a few horses, most notably Slade Power and Sole Power, who are running in the July Cup this month, what's so special about that you ask?
Well NFL star Wes Welker also owns a horse, Undrafted, and it's also running in the July Cup. Ah, the plot thickens.
Well knowing Paddy Power like we all do, they were never going to let this PR opportunity slip by, nor have they. They got in contact with the Broncos wide receiver via Twitter and asked him to partake in a friendly bet.
Whatever the result, some happy charity will soon by five grand better off, so we're all happy.
