The brand, historically known as Jolly Green Giant, will appear on the green shirt and white pants worn by the horse's jockey, Victor Espinoza, as part of a multifaceted sponsorship that involves livestreaming, social and TV.

What's more, Espinoza will appear on Green Giant's Facebook page for a branded Facebook Live video on Friday.
