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


Harry Cobden is among the jockeys wanting to write their name into the history books by winning some of the biggest races in the sport.


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


And as he opts for more glory in the 2026 edition of the celebration, he has coordinated with bookie Paddy Power to develop a series of captivating tracksuits.


The collection is comprised of four bespoke styles, all themed around a few of the most unforgettable outfit seen in racing.


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

The collection mixes a mix of historical colours and designs used by famous jockeys with contemporary fashion patterns, highlighting the continued crossover between sport and fashion.


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


Cobden stated: 'Jockey silks are some of the most renowned styles in sport - bright, and soaked in history. Making them into tracksuits has to do with commemorating them beyond just the racecourse.


'Racing is changing 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 give racing silks a fashion style on a brand-new level, and these tracksuits will ideally reveal that racing can set patterns too!'


Paddy Power included: 'It's been long past due seeing the fantastic colours and styles from the world of racing taken through into mainstream style - and we believe this cooperation with Harry Cobden can do just that.


'There's fresh life, and fresh energy in racing today with a host of interesting brand-new skill ready to spearhead the sport, so what better time to show the world that some of the most unforgettable silks in the game can also double up as stylish and distinctive leisurewear.'
