Top Jockey To Mark Cheltenham By Launching Eye-catching Tracksuits

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


Harry Cobden is among the jockeys hoping to compose their name into the history books by winning a few of the biggest races in the sport.


The 27-year-old has already landed 6 Festival winners, including on Caldwell Potter in a memorable Golden Miller Novices' Chase last year.


And as he opts for more glory in the 2026 edition of the celebration, he has actually teamed up with bookie Paddy Power to produce a series of distinctive tracksuits.


The collection is comprised of four bespoke styles, all themed around some of the most unforgettable clothing 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 campaign, which is focused on producing what Paddy Power describe as 'a brand-new vision for horse racing'.

The collection blends a mix of historical colours and styles worn by famous jockeys with modern-day style patterns, highlighting the continued crossover in between sport and fashion.


A limited release of 50 pieces from the collection will go for 10am on Tuesday, the very first day of the Festival - click here to discover more. After that, 50 more will be released if Cobden rides a winner at the conference.


Cobden stated: 'Jockey silks are some of the most iconic designs in sport - brilliant, personal and steeped in history. Making them into tracksuits is about commemorating them beyond just the racecourse.


'Racing is altering with so much fresh energy and style, so why not bring that into culture where silks can take to the streets and set brand-new patterns? It's enjoyable to provide racing silks a fashion flair on a new level, and these tracksuits will ideally show that racing can set patterns too!'


added: 'It's been long overdue seeing the remarkable colours and designs from the world of racing taken through into traditional 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 all set to spearhead the sport, so what better time to reveal the world that a few of the most unforgettable silks in the video game can also double up as trendy and eye-catching leisurewear.'
