Shergar Cup jocks to wear team colours Jockeys competing in this year's Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup will wear team colours for the first time. The Racehorse Owners Association (ROA) and Ascot racecourse have agreed to the one-year experiment. The three jockeys riding for the Great Britain team will wear red and white colours, those representing Ireland will wear green and white, the jockeys riding for Europe will wear blue and white while the Rest of the World team will wear black and white. In order to differentiate between each member, distinguishing caps and sleeves will be worn. "We are very grateful to the ROA for giving us the go-ahead for this trial," said Ascot's head of communications, Nick Smith. "Seeing their horses in their own colours is obviously important to owners so the ROA is to be applauded for its flexibility and foresight in lending its weight to the initiative, which is aimed at enabling racegoers to follow more easily this unique team competition."
