What are the horses Harry Redknapp is running at Cheltenham Festival 2024?
CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL is well underway – and there will be some famous faces from the sporting world in attendance on day three.
Legendary football manager Harry Redknapp will likely be present looking to land a huge payday.
The former Tottenham and West Ham gaffer ventured into racehorse ownership 35 years ago with friends from AFC Bournemouth, who he was managing at the time.
He’s not the only legendary football manager who will have horses at Cheltenham, with Sir Alex Ferguson set to have runners at this year’s festival yet again.
But which horses will Redknapp run and what races are they in?

What are the horses Harry Redknapp is running at Cheltenham Festival?
Redknapp will run Shakem Up’Arry in the TrustATrader Plate Handicap Chase on Thursday at 4:10pm.
The name Shakem Up’Arry has an amusing origin story, Redknapp explained: “I used to have a guy stand behind me at West Ham when I was manager.
“For 90 minutes, he’d shout right behind my dugout, ‘shake ’em up, ‘Arry, shake ’em up, ‘Arry’.
“I used to come home on Saturday night after the game and all I could hear was this guy’s voice, ‘shake ’em up ‘Arry’.
“So I thought, when I get a horse, I’ve got to call it Shakem Up’Arry.”
Bowtogreatness is running for the former Premier League gaffer in the Challenge Cup Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap Chase on Thursday, March 14 at 5.30pm.
Back On The Lash will also compete in the huge race to close St Patricks’ Thursday at Cheltenham.
Redknapp will run The Jukebox Man in the Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle on Friday, March 15.
