For 2026, Corinthian Sports are proud to welcome three outstanding figures from across the sport who will bring their knowledge and personality to the Festival experience.

Tom Scudamore

Tom Scudamore is widely regarded as one of the most respected jockeys of the modern National Hunt era, enjoying a career in the saddle that spanned more than two decades at the very top of the sport. Coming from one of racing’s most well known families, he is the son of legendary Champion Jockey Peter Scudamore, and from an early age it was clear he would follow in his father’s footsteps.

Over the course of his career he established himself as one of the most consistent and reliable riders in the weighing room, partnering more than 1,500 winners and building an outstanding reputation within the sport.

Cheltenham played an important role throughout his career and he became a regular competitor at the Cheltenham Festival, where he rode ten winners during his time as a professional jockey. Among the most memorable of these victories was his success aboard the hugely popular Thistlecrack in the 2016 Stayers’ Hurdle, one of the standout performances of that year’s Festival.

For many years Scudamore served as stable jockey to leading trainer David Pipe, riding a number of top class horses and competing regularly in the biggest races in National Hunt racing. Known for his tactical awareness, professionalism and calm approach under pressure, he brings guests a wealth of insight into the preparation, decision making and intensity that define racing’s most prestigious week at Cheltenham.

Sam Twiston Davies

Sam Twiston Davies has long been recognised as one of the leading jockeys in British jump racing and has spent much of his career competing at the highest level of the sport. Growing up in a racing family, he is the son of Grand National winning trainer Nigel Twiston Davies and was immersed in the world of racing from a young age at the family’s Gloucestershire training yard. Surrounded by horses and the daily rhythm of training life, he quickly developed a deep understanding of the sport that would later help shape his own successful career as a professional jockey.

After turning professional in 2010, Twiston Davies rapidly made a name for himself as one of the most exciting young riders in the weighing room.

His early success was highlighted by winning the Conditional Jockeys Championship in his first full season, a remarkable achievement that marked him out as a rising star in the sport. He later became stable jockey for multiple Champion trainer Paul Nicholls, partnering many high quality horses and riding winners at some of the most prestigious meetings in the racing calendar.

Throughout his career he has enjoyed major victories including wins at the Cheltenham Festival as well as success in top level races such as the Queen Mother Champion Chase and the Scottish Grand National. Known for his strength in the saddle, sharp race reading and fearless riding style, Twiston Davies offers guests a fascinating insight into the pressures, preparation and split second decisions required to compete at the very highest level of National Hunt racing.

Frankie Foster

Frankie Foster has become one of the most recognisable and engaging personalities in modern horse racing media. As a presenter with Racing TV he has built a strong reputation for his lively presenting style and his ability to bring audiences closer to the action both on and off the racecourse. Through interviews with jockeys, trainers and racing personalities, as well as behind the scenes coverage at some of the sport’s biggest events, he has played an important role in making racing more accessible and entertaining for fans.

Throughout his broadcasting career Foster has covered many of the major fixtures in the racing calendar, including the Cheltenham Festival, where the drama, atmosphere and sporting significance make it one of the highlights of the entire year.

His work within the industry has also extended beyond traditional broadcasting, contributing to digital content and initiatives aimed at introducing racing to a wider and younger audience. With a deep enthusiasm for the sport and a natural ability to engage with racing’s biggest personalities, Foster offers guests a unique perspective on the stories, characters and memorable moments that make Cheltenham Festival week so special.

Guests in The Pegasus Lounge will have the opportunity to hear from these racing personalities throughout the Festival, gaining expert insight, entertaining stories and behind the scenes perspectives from the world of jump racing. Combined with exceptional hospitality, premium views of the course and the electric atmosphere that only Cheltenham can deliver, it promises to be an unforgettable way to experience the greatest week in National Hunt racing.
