Best Mate Men’s Hoodie – A Tribute to a Racing Legend
Celebrate one of the greatest National Hunt racehorses of all time with our Best Mate Men’s Hoodie. This premium-quality hoodie is designed for true racing fans who want to honour the legendary three-time Cheltenham Gold Cup winner. With “Best Mate” boldly printed on the front, this hoodie is the perfect blend of comfort, style, and sporting heritage.
A Legacy Like No Other
Best Mate was more than just a champion—he was a racing icon who captured the hearts of fans across the UK and beyond. Trained by Henrietta Knight and ridden by Jim Culloty, this incredible gelding became only the fourth horse in history to win three consecutive Cheltenham Gold Cups (2002, 2003, and 2004)—a feat not seen since the legendary Arkle in the 1960s.
Known for his smooth jumping, tactical brilliance, and unmatched consistency, Best Mate dominated the steeplechasing scene. Unlike many champions, he was never pushed too hard in his career, ensuring he always delivered at the highest level. His ability to travel effortlessly through races, jump with precision, and power home in thrilling finishes made him a firm fan favourite.
Unbeaten at Cheltenham & a Lasting Legacy
Best Mate’s record at Cheltenham remains untarnished—he never fell, was never pulled up, and never finished outside the top two in any race he contested. His emotional third Gold Cup victory in 2004 cemented his status as a true racing great, with an outpouring of adoration from racegoers who had followed his remarkable journey.
Tragically, Best Mate’s career was cut short in 2005 when he collapsed during a race at Exeter. His passing left a deep void in the racing world, but his legacy lives on. A statue in his honour stands proudly at Cheltenham Racecourse, ensuring his story is never forgotten.
Premium Comfort & Style
Our Best Mate Hoodie is designed for racegoers, equestrian enthusiasts, and sports fans alike. Made from a soft cotton-blend fabric, it offers superior comfort and warmth, making it perfect for chilly race days at Cheltenham, Aintree, or simply casual wear. Featuring a classic fit with a drawstring hood and kangaroo pocket, this hoodie is both stylish and practical.
