Imagining the scene as the Wocket Woy 'woar' goes up

A new cultural sensation is set to hit British racecourses in the coming months in the shape of the #wocketdarechallenge.

Wocket Woy, the alter-ego of jump jockey Mattie Batchelor, has challenged all those with a love of racing – be they professional or fans – to take part in the dare which can be done from the saddle.

The challenge requires those taking part to either perform a task on horseback, say jumping a fence, while yelling out ‘Wocket Woy’ or taking their hands off the reins to do a Wocket Woy swallow salute.
