Horse racing is more than just a sport—it’s a culture. And in Chester County, Pennsylvania, some of the deepest racing bloodlines run through its rolling hills and farms. This region has produced not only renowned trainers but also legendary horses. Names like Storm Cat, the famed sire, and Forever Together, a Breeders' Cup champion, reflect the area’s rich heritage in racing.
This design is a nod to the unforgettable days spent at Delaware Park in the early ‘90s, where the thrill of the race was felt at every turn. For those who were there, you remember the excitement of watching the best jockeys battle it out, leaving it all on the track. Legends like Pat Day, Mike McCarthy, Mike Smith, Rick Wilson, and Tony Black were household names, and every race was a show of their skill and determination.
After the races, we’d collect the jockeys’ muddy goggles as keepsakes, each one telling the story of a hard-fought run down the stretch. Those goggles, soaked in dirt and sweat, became our prized possessions—tangible memories of being close to the action, at hand's length.
This shirt captures that spirit—the rush of the race, the mud flying, and the connection between rider and horse as they fought to the finish line. It’s a tribute to the days spent by the rails, when the world seemed to blur with the speed of the horses, and every moment was about being right there, in the thick of it.
And really, what other sports apparel company creates gear for horse racing—one of the world’s biggest sporting events—as if it’s just a side note? This shirt speaks to the heart of the sport and its place among the greats.
