BillyHills Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Just been messing about with the Racing Colours availablilty over at the BHA. Its £37 a year to register your colours, no need to be an owner, anyone can register a set of colours. Apparantly people buy them as presents for their sons/daughters in case they own a horse in the future! http://www.britishhorseracing.com/colours/ Also some 'special' colours come up at auction every now and then http://www.britishhorseracing.com/colours/distinctive-racing-colours.asp Prices start at £750 for these. Anyway here are my colours, quite simple, My fav racing colour Dark Green and my name 'Gra'. Checked the availability and it was ok. Anyone have any registered?

mowgli77 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Re: Choose your Racing Silks Not registered them but they would be mine, claret and amber for BCFC and the black is what we also have in our shirt for the victims of the fire. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowles10 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Re: Choose your Racing Silks obvious i suppose, but just plain blue/white hoops, no fancy piping etc or a mix of h/away! or my favourite away kit (from the 70's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL2611 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Re: Choose your Racing Silks The closest that I could get to the colours of one of my other favorite pastimes-Twickenham Cricket Club! Bottle Green, Silver & Black. Mowgli I think those colours look brilliant as silks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy the punter Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Re: Choose your Racing Silks Nearly had these... But in the end opted for... Just like brown, pink and sky blue for silks so it was always going to be two from those three. Also wanted something simple. They've been pretty lucky too.

TOP CAT Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Re: Choose your Racing Silks would be cool to have them made up put them on top jump jockeys and then run in the punters lounge Gold cup, ok ive went to far. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyHills Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Re: Choose your Racing Silks Terrific picks guys, like Nigels a lot and Billy's first choice. I thought with all the horses in training that it would be difficult to find a set that wasnt already taken, very clever all the little trimmings that allow very similar colours to be allowed. Good fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avongirl Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Re: Choose your Racing Silks Have you done point to point Avongirl ? No, only flat, although the one after Runadrum (Polyphonic) we sold on to someone who schooled her for jumping and she is now doing eventing. We never got anywhere near winning (or even placing :lol) with any. In fact, the last one never even made it to the racecourse!
