PIC: It’s Cheltenham week, so the obvious thing to do is dress a horse in a tweed suit

Suits you, sir gelding.

You've got to love Cheltenham week, that magical four days when EVERYONE becomes a master tipster and a TV is switched on in every office. College students around the country forget about lectures as the festival of horseflesh in the Cotswolds means an unofficial rag week for many. The exodus from Ireland has begun in earnest as thousands of race fans make the annual pilgrimage for the highlight of the National Hunt calendar, which begins Tuesday. To celebrate the arrival of Cheltenham one clothes designer has stolen a gallop on all the rest to corner what will surely become a highly lucrative market in horse clothing. Doesn't retired Irish gelding Morestead look dapper in his three-piece tweed suit and flat cap? Doesn't retired Irish champion jockey Tony McCoy look bemused in his tweed suit? https://twitter.com/CheltRacingTips/status/709306553707458560 https://twitter.com/bpowell13/status/709269200116850688/photo/1 The suit was designed by Emma Sandham-King to celebrate the fact 200 miles of tweed are worn at Cheltenham every year. As good a reason as any, we suppose.
