Welcome

Welcome to the home of Jockey Silks.

JockeyColours.com is a web site dedicated to the wonderful world of Horse Racing and in particular the colourful racing silks - the Jockey Colours!

Owners have been registering colours in the UK since 1762. Search for and view jockey colours, ancient and modern, by owner's name or colour description.

In November 2009 Isinglass made a plea to all racing historians or racing anoraks to help him track down the colours warn by the winners of the Classics.
Since then the marvellous Classic Winners - Owner Colours thread on the Racing Forum website has been turning up historic winners of all the top races around the world.
Many thanks to Isinglass, Ile de Bourbon, Ivanjica, Slewman et al.

Relive the careers of your favourite racehorses via the Career 1-2-3 Colour Charts.
National Hunt favourites such as Coneygree and Hurricane Fly mingle with legends of the flat like Frankel and Sea The Stars.
Going back to the seventies, there are the immortals Mill Reef and Brigadier Gerard, and from the sixties the phenomenal Park Top.
Still some missing silks in the earlier charts, so please contact me if you can fill in the blanks.
The highlights of the season so far, seen via the Classics and the separate programmes for Three Year-Olds and Older Horses.
The Big Races to look forward to later this Summer and at next year's Cheltenham Festival.
Aintree and Punchestown are on the up, and might have four top races every day, but only Cheltenham and Royal Ascot can sustain the quality from first race through to the last, every day of the meeting.

Almost 300 different colours are used when drawing the Racehorses and Owners pages of this site. Here is a list of all the colours used and their RGB definitions.

Tartan has been a familiar part of jockey colours in the UK for over 160 years. The numbers and varieties are diminishing as new Tartan registrations are no longer accepted. Here are samples of many existing tartans - not just those used in jockey colours.
Thanks to Thomas Insell at www.tinsel.org for his inspirational Java code and Sett list.
