The talented international dressage rider and TV presenter is already in training for the charity race and is enjoying the challenge that comes with switching equestrian disciplines. Gemma is working with trainer Hugo Palmer and jockey Franny Norton, riding out at Manor House Stables.
Since its inception in 2011, the Markel Magnolia Cup has raised more than £3.5 million for charities supporting women and children, thanks to the remarkable efforts of the many inspiring and influential women who have taken part. This year it will raise vital funds for Education Above All Foundation.
All the Markel Magnolia Cup jockeys undertake months of intensive training and complete fitness tests and riding assessments at the British Racing School in preparation to race down Goodwood Racecourse’s home straight in front of thousands.

Following in her father, Michael Owen’s footsteps, Gemma will be swapping sporting disciplines to delve into the adrenaline-filled world of racing. The former Liverpool and England striker retired from professional football in 2013, turning his attention to horseracing, having built a state-of-the-art racing facility in Cheshire several years prior. Today, Manor House Stables house and train more than 100 racehorses.
As she prepares for the Markel Magnolia Cup, Gemma is continuing to compete on the dressage circuit with her mount King Ron P, alongside her presenting work.

Gemma Owen said: “I'm really looking forward to taking part in the Markel Magnolia Cup this year. Believe it or not, I had never sat on a racehorse until a couple of months ago and the training so far has been humbling to say the least. Spending more time at Manor House Stables, seeing how a racing yard runs like clockwork and getting out onto the gallops, has been an incredible experience.”
“It is an even bigger challenge than I initially expected but I’m excited to take part in such a prestigious fundraising event which raises so much money for charities supporting women and children.”
