Mar 12th 2026
Former Spurs manager and racehorse owner Harry Redknapp brings King George winner Jukebox Man to the Cheltenham Gold Cup on Friday, facing a strong field and chasing a career milestone.
- Jukebox Man won the King George VI Chase at Kempton Park on Boxing Day in a photo-finish, beating Banbridge and Gaelic Warrior.
- Jukebox Man will run in the Cheltenham Gold Cup on Friday against rivals including Gaelic Warrior, Jango Baie, Haiti Couleur and defending champion Inothewayurthinkin.
- Redknapp, 79, owns shares in 26 horses and said having a Gold Cup runner is a dream come true.
- He traces his love of racing to his grandmother, who worked as a bookmaker's runner in London’s East End when betting shops were illegal.
- Redknapp is linked with a possible return to manage Tottenham Hotspur but said he is focused on Cheltenham and does not expect a call while Spurs fight poor form.
