Fairplay has signed jockey Tristan Durrell as a brand ambassador for the 2026/27 Jumps season, the operator announced on 3 November 2026.
Durrell rode a personal best of 48 winners last season, including a first Grade 1, on his way to becoming Champion Conditional rider, and rides as part of the Dan Skelton team. Over the season he will provide regular written blogs and video updates on his rides and on key horses in the Skelton yard.
Comment from both sides
Durrell said the yard was busy with runners and had plenty of horses, making for an exciting season ahead. He said Skelton has been vocal about wanting to reach 244 winners for the season and beat Martin Pipe’s record, and that the Cheltenham Festival is the yard’s big target, where Willie Mullins still wins far more than any British yard.
Bill Gowing, Founder and Managing Director at Fairplay, said having last season’s Champion Conditional Jockey represent the brand was a fantastic signing, and that partnering with riders such as Durrell is an important part of the firm’s plan to grow its presence in British racing.
Wider ambassador programme
Durrell joins Warren Greatrex and Mickey Bowen as a Fairplay ambassador.
Fairplay began as a social peer-to-peer betting platform in 2023, and its sportsbook, Fairplay Bet, launched after the award of a sportsbook licence. The company also has an on-course presence: it took a pitch at Glorious Goodwood for the first time this year and now has pitches at Cheltenham from 13 to 15 November and at Newbury on 27 and 28 November, as well as on 10 and 29 December.
