Forget the racing – top jockeys are getting competitive over best dressed these days

THERE’S a caller conflict successful the satellite of jumps jockeys – and it’s got thing to bash with immoderate riding title!

Fashion. Clothes. That’s it. Yes, I know, it’s hard to believe, but escaped apparel and manner is taking disconnected with champion Harry Cobden and erstwhile apical weapon Harry Skelton showing the way. Both look to person been snapped up by Holland Cooper and their societal media is afloat of it.

I’m utilized to the pistillate (sometimes male!) ITV presenters taking selfie aft selfie for whichever marque has fixed them their latest escaped outfit.

But Cobden and Skelton are taking things to a caller level. The gilet seems to beryllium the Cobden ‘go to’ item, portion Skelton is partial to a achromatic polo cervix jumper.

With Cobden, galore of his colleagues judge manner stores are missing a trick. Apparently helium wears a brace of tights amended than most. You could ideate the Agent Provocateur slogan – ‘Even successful a beardown finish, these tights won’t ladder’.

Fashion and jockeys has ever been an absorbing watch. Normal apparel conscionable don’t look to enactment with astir of them.

Read much successful racing

To beryllium just to Cobden and Skelton they are what I deliberation astir ladies and men would see comparatively decent looking lads.

I get the feeling Cobden successful peculiarly is relishing his modelling gigs, successful immoderate cases for precise evident reasons.

It has been noticed that, arsenic of yet, nary modelling declaration seems to person been offered to Sean Bowen, which seems harsh but I deliberation astir would hold fair. You can’t execute miracles.

Sean’s lush locks member James Bowen (lots of hair) is different story. I’m told a Moroccanoil declaration mightiness beryllium bully for him – nary amended shampoo and conditioner.

I wonderment if this caller covering roar is connected the backmost of the ITV documentary Champions: Full Gallop.

Also featuring successful that were Nico de Boinville and Gavin Sheehan.

Nico is absorbing arsenic acold arsenic manner is concerned. Obviously helium looks a batch older than helium really is, but erstwhile connected vacation he’s not without immoderate style.

He lacks connected apical what James Bowen has, truthful perchance a Nico sponsorship enactment could beryllium Garnier Fructis turn Strong Fortifying Shampoo.

That, though, could beryllium harsh.  But possibly not. When I asked Nico what helium thought could beryllium his manner beardown constituent helium told me: “I’d beryllium an underwear exemplary with a rig similar mine”. Oh matron! String vests it is then.

Sheehan, however, is simply a antithetic story. A good stamp of a bloke.

I would consciousness idiosyncratic is missing a immense instrumentality not getting Sheehan modelling arsenic soon arsenic possible. I fishy some sexes would flock astatine Christmas for the caller ‘Gavin speedo’ range.

Bring it on.
