Gay Future was the racehorse at the centre of an attempted coup by an Irish betting syndicate in Great Britain in 1974. The plot involved a Scottish trainer named Antony Collins initially presenting a poorly performing horse at his stables as if it were the real Gay Future. This lowered the expectations of reviewers and hence raised the betting odds on offer when the real horse was entered in a race at Cartmel in Cumbria.
