Top Jockey To Mark Cheltenham By Launching Eye-catching Tracksuits

The finest week in the racing calendar is just around the corner - with around 250,000 fans anticipated to descend on Cheltenham for its famous four-day festival.


Harry Cobden is amongst the jockeys wanting to compose their name into the history books by winning some of the greatest races in the sport.


The 27-year-old has actually already landed six Festival winners, consisting of on Caldwell Potter in an unforgettable Golden Miller Novices' Chase last year.


And as he chooses more magnificence in the 2026 edition of the celebration, he has teamed up with bookie Paddy Power to create a series of attractive tracksuits.


The collection is made up of four bespoke designs, all themed around some of the most remarkable clothes seen in racing.


Three of the sport's most recognisable faces - 59-time Festival-winning jockey Ruby Walsh, TV expert Matt Chapman and 1999 Gold Cup-winning jockey Mick Fitzgerald - are fronting the project, which is intended at developing what Paddy Power refer to as 'a new vision for horse racing'.

Cobden said: 'Jockey silks are some of the most iconic designs in sport - brilliant, personal and steeped in history. Making them into tracksuits has to do with celebrating them beyond simply the racecourse.


'Racing is changing with a lot fresh energy and style, so why not bring that into culture where silks can require to the streets and set brand-new patterns? It's fun to offer racing silks a style flair on a brand-new level, and these tracksuits will hopefully show that racing can set patterns too!'


Paddy Power added: 'It's been long overdue seeing the remarkable colours and designs from the world of racing taken through into mainstream fashion - and our company believe this partnership with Harry Cobden can do simply that.


'There's fresh life, and fresh energy in racing today with a host of exciting new skill prepared to spearhead the sport, so what much better time to reveal the world that a few of the most remarkable silks in the game can also double up as trendy and appealing leisurewear.'
