Always liked Michael tabors and Gary Tanakas colours.
I wouldnt describe it as my least favorite, but the weirdest looking one is that of Plantation Stud, it looks like spidermans costume or something when it is on the racecards.
Question- Is there a maximum number of colours you can have on jockey silks?
Colours carried by Winter Rain, Arcturus, Gay Trip, What a Myth were some my favourites. They horses I followed during their careers…….all had crossbelts which were easy to spot.
The Queen Mothers colours always gave me a buzz and never more than the day she won the Whitbread Gold Cup with Special Cargo.
You would have offered 100/1 him winning 3 out and 10/1 at the last, him winning.
Great day for the old girl in a race never to be forgotten.
Green body, blue arms, white cap, green spots on cap – preferably with Pat Eddery sitting on top.
Flat for me is Mrs. Bolgers colours carried by teofilo and new approach(pre-Mrs. Mohammed)
Jumps I’ll have to go for JP Mcmanus
Olive Jackson’s: Purple and Yellow Quartered with Emerald Green Sleeves. Honourable mention to the Tory family colours of Yellow and Black Diamonds (Black Collar) with a Red and Yellow Hooped Cap.
Artemis – Jim Joel left money in his will so that his colours are registered inperpetuity, and therefore cannot be used again.
Scallyway76 – Monica Sherrif’s colours were Blue Birdseye (blue with very small white spots). And the blue and yellow Rothschild colours – arent those the ones you carried in the 76 Leger?
And what about:
Mollers – chocolate and gold (Teenoso/Pentire etc)
Mrs Valentine – pink with red hearts (Plundering)
And here is a fun question, anyone know or want to guess which trainer/owner had all Royal Blue and sold them to Godolphin?
I will second Howard de waldons apricot colours.
Marquesa De Moratallas red colours.
Duke of Devonshires straw colours.
Alan Bailey I think

It was indeed; can’t believe I forgot Miles Valentine’s colours; how about John Mulhern ~ Red with a white question mark and quartered cap.
Anybody remember the pre dark blue Magnier colours? And that the dark blue were first worn at Cheltenham 1997.

I remember Susan Magnier paying £25k for the colours which French Ballerina carried to victory in the Supreme Novices ~ I’d guess that the old colours were Light Blue with Brown Cross-Belts as those are the colours of John Magnier’s mother Evie Stockwell (carried recently with distinction by Luas Line).

I’d forgotten about them. I was thinking about the Yellow jacket and black star.

LOL. I can see the pitch already;
"After being bitten by a radioactive owner, Graham Lee is now – Plantation Man! Gasp with awe! As Marshall Hall fails to exploit a tiny hurdles mark at Carlisle under him!", etc etc.
The question-mark colours once worn by the likes of Tabasco Time always made me smile as a youngster. And isn’t there still some owner with Sue Smith whose silks include what appears to be a set of antlers?
