Cheltenham Racecourse has announced top model Frankie Herbert as their first ever fashion ambassador for the 2020 Festival. 
 
Frankie, who has modelled and appeared on the catwalk for the world’s leading fashion houses including Dolce & Gabbana and Richard Quinn, will be attending day two of the four day event, which runs from Tuesday 10th to Friday 13th March.

“I’m so excited to be working with The Jockey Club around this year’s Cheltenham Festival,” said Frankie.

“I have grown up with horseracing so being able to mix it with my modelling career is a dream come true. We had a great day shooting the looks at the racecourse – I can’t wait to come back when its full in March!”
 
A keen horsewoman, 24 year-old Frankie grew up surrounded by animals and her father, Harry Herbert, runs one of horseracing’s largest syndicates, Highclere Thoroughbred Racing. As well as modelling, Frankie is a graphic designer and charity volunteer.

As part of the announcement Frankie took part in a photoshoot, with each look based on the four individual days’ colour themes – blues and tweeds (Champions Day), purple and colourful (Ladies Day), green (St Patrick’s Day) and gold (Gold Cup Day).
 
Ian Renton, The Jockey Club’s Cheltenham and South West Regional Director, said: “We’re really excited to welcome Frankie to Cheltenham. She is a fabulous personality with a wonderful racing background and fashion experience.”

This year the Festival will also be introducing a new enclosure – The Park – which will feature a Ferris wheel and performances from DJs Nick Grimshaw, Roman Kemp and Laura Whitmore.
