Harry Redknapp to Wear Paolo Di Canio's Lucky Tie for Cheltenham Gold Cup 2026 Bid

On March 13, Harry Redknapp, former football manager and trainer, has The Jukebox Man entered for the Cheltenham Gold Cup, vying for favouritism.
Family memories explain why the Gold Cup bid holds deep personal meaning for Redknapp, who recalled Maggie Brown in the 1960s teaching him to pick horses.
The Jukebox Man, which won the King George VI Chase last December, is being prepared for Cheltenham, with Redknapp saying it has strong Gold Cup prospects.
A Gold Cup success would be personally meaningful to Redknapp, who turns 79 on March 2 and has known both good and bad days as an owner since the mid 1980's, he said.
He still laments never having a horse trained by Mick Channon, recalling days with George Best and Alan Ball, and family tales like his mum's 30/1 Salisbury racecourse sweep in 1967.
