THIS huge Chelsea fan went absolutely crazy celebrating his horse's big win – and even sent a warning to King Charles.
Famed owner Clive Washbourn was all over the place after seeing Caius Chorister win £35,000 with victory in France on Sunday.
Trained by David Menuisier, the four-year-old filly was an easy four-length winner of the Group 3 having been sent off 5-1.
But it was Washbourn who stole the show with his energy-packed celebrations in the winners' enclosure.
Cameras captured him wheeling around as he could barely get his words out while being interviewed by Sky Sports Racing.
The whole thing took a bizarre turn though when he singled out King Charles in his breathless victory speech.
Barely making much sense, businessman Washbourn said: "Unbelievable weekend. We cried for England – and how we let in two goals to the Arsenal I will not know.
"But the Caius has murdered them. We love it! We love racing! Vive le Republique!"
Putting his flat cap back on and composing himself, Washbourn continued: "Absolutely fantastic. I bred this girl and her dam is still the two-mile record holder at Beverley.
"This horse next year will take all the beating in the Ascot Gold Cup.

At least Charles can't say he wasn't warned!
