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 expected to come down on Cheltenham for its popular four-day festival.
Harry Cobden is amongst the jockeys wishing to compose their name into the history books by winning some of the biggest races in the sport.
The 27-year-old has actually currently landed six Festival winners, consisting of on Caldwell Potter in a memorable Golden Miller Novices' Chase in 2015.
And as he goes for more glory in the 2026 edition of the celebration, he has coordinated with bookmaker Paddy Power to create a series of captivating tracksuits.
The collection is comprised of 4 bespoke styles, all themed around a few of the most memorable clothing seen in racing.
Three of the sport's most recognisable faces - 59-time Festival-winning jockey Ruby Walsh, TV specialist Matt Chapman and 1999 Gold Cup-winning jockey Mick Fitzgerald - are fronting the project, which is intended at creating what Paddy Power refer to as 'a brand-new vision for horse racing'.

A limited release of 50 pieces from the collection will go for 10am on Tuesday, the very first day of the Festival - click on this link to discover out more. After that, 50 more will be launched if Cobden rides a winner at the .
Cobden stated: 'Jockey silks are a few of the most renowned designs in sport - bright, personal and steeped in history. Making them into tracksuits has to do with celebrating them beyond just the racecourse.
'Racing is altering with a lot fresh energy and design, so why not bring that into culture where silks can take to the streets and set brand-new patterns? It's fun to give racing silks a style flair on a new level, and these tracksuits will hopefully reveal that racing can set trends too!'
Paddy Power added: 'It's been long overdue seeing the amazing colours and styles 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 amazing new skill ready to spearhead the sport, so what much better time to reveal the world that some of the most unforgettable silks in the video game can also double up as trendy and captivating leisurewear.'
