Paddy Power has been up to his old tricks and the Irish bookie has added a giant jockey to the White Horse of Uffington.

The 3,000 year-old prehistoric hill carving of a horse has had some fine tuning and in the spirit of Festival fever, the mischievous team at Paddy Power have finally given the 374 foot horse a jockey!

A Paddy Power spokesman explained: “Funnily enough the idea for our Uffington Rider came from a customer Tweet asking if we had any mischief planned for Cheltenham in the wake of our giant Hollywood sign a few years ago. We simply couldn’t resist the challenge and had to dig really deep to come up with something to literally measure to the giant sign. I think we’ve achieved this.”

The White Horse was carved into the hills of Uffington, Oxfordshire, over 3,000 years ago and for thousands of years it has been waiting for Stonehenge to fall over to become the first wonder of Britain. 

Join Paddy Power now and get in the spirit of the Cheltenham Festival with £200 worth of free bets!
