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!
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.
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.
