Sean Bowen Exclusive: Cheltenham Festival plans, hitting 1,000 winners and Jockeys' Championship update
06 Mar 2025
In our latest Racing Exclusive, we catch up with Coral Racing Ambassador, Sean Bowen, to find out his plans for this year's Cheltenham Festival and to see how he feels as he heads into the final stages of the Jumps season.
Remarkably, despite recently hitting the incredible milestone of riding 1,000 winners, Sean is yet to ride a Cheltenham Festival winner, but there's no doubt that he'll be hoping that can change this year, especially with the support of trainer Olly Murphy.
Sean does, however, currently sit at the top of the Jockeys' Championship table and is over 20 wins clear of his nearest rival, Harry Skelton.
After last season's unfortunate circumstances when Sean got injured whilst riding at Aintree on New Year's Day, which then resulted in Harry Cobden taking advantage and being the one to lift the trophy, he will be fully focussed on riding as many winners as possible, no matter where they may come.
