I can't believe how bad he is... can only win on the bridle.

Never backing any of his mounts again.

Horses so rotten that Nicholls leads the trainers champs by £450k and is over a £million ahead of Henderson whose form is mixed at best. From Nicholls' last 10 runners, 9 have been in the first 3 and 7 were first or second! There was a small hiatus after the annual flu jab as there always is but they are in great form now. I am not biting on Broken Halo. I thought that Jody Sole did well for a very occasional rider.

you would think nicholls could find a better jock though, with all these great horses, cobden is very weak on anything that needs a bit of pushing

I donnt agree. What he lacks in a finish (if he does) he more than makes up for over the obstacles where he is different class from any other GB based rider. Paul Nicholls soon removes any stable jockey if they are not good enough. He is probably tearing his hair out whenever a Heskin ride gets beaten a neck. I would be.

Nothing wrong with Cobden imo,it does help when you're riding the best horses in the country,he'll be there as long as he wants as he appears to be part of the family down there and I guess the job was always going to be his when he came of age.

Rode a great race there on Flash Collonges, giving the horse every chance and beaten for a place in the very last stride!
Would AP in his heyday have carried the horse to a win?  I don;t know.
It is still infuriating when his get beat so late on in a race, however well they have run in the race itself - that;s the bottom line

For some reason the horse put down at that last fence both times round but as he has been beaten twice before and wore cheekpieces, he is clearly not very brave. Harry saved every yard on the way round but the horse let him down imo. the market seemed to expect it although I was able to green out at 2 as they turned in. I would be very cautious about backing him again regardless of the rider.

So did I.  Laugh  I would happily back the horse again because he does what all chasers need to - jumps well.

What a disaster in the bumper. Horse unbalanced all over the shop.. yet another shocker from Cobden.

Sometimes wish he would ride more on the inner instead of the wide route. Think Francombe said he is the best at presenting the horse to a fence. Cannot argue with that.

Sam Twiston Davies and Daryl Jacob are both better riders than Harry Cobden will ever be.....but perhaps I'm bias as those two rejects are my two fav jump jockeys at the moment Wink

Got 4 days for careless riding in the bumper.

No comment from Honcho on Cobden's 4 day ban for careless riding then.
Might have been if Ms Frost was riding it I imagine.

Got the tactics spot on - front runners have a great record over C & D.

He was never seriously challenged. Like I said Cobden can only win on the bridle otherwise he's all over the shop, unbalanced, panics under pressure.

Brilliant, my first anti post winner of the week at 16.5. Superb jumper and superb ride. I thought that the second might beat him at the second last.

Good old forum hex when a jockey is dissed. Laugh

Got a soft lead up and got the horse into a nice rhythm jumping well. Plenty left in the tank at the end of the race.

Ibrahima, like yesterday when Thyme White fell 2 out while cantering. He showed superb jumping abilities there Laugh
By:

Possibly geoff, but he also got in a right muddle off the bend. Then he hung violently up the straight. Mighty Potter beat Adamantly Chosen who did not advertise the form yesterday.

Incredibly soft lead, it's almost like they let him win.

Don't agree that Thyne White was cantering. Coming to the end of his tether I thought.

Paul Townend had a nightmare on Appreciate It... left it too much to do, held up last off a snails pace, hit the panic button, horse all over the place, unbalanced, terrible ride.

sageform...  Racing Post: F Thyme White  (FR) 28/1 Harry Cobden Took keen hold, towards rear of midfield, steady headway on outer 4 out, every chance and going easily when fell 2 out (op 22/1)

sageform, you must be trolling... Thyme White cantered into the lead at the last woulda won doing handstands.

I can't fault this winning ride but it helps when you're on the best horse.


He often leaves his mount too much to do, he should stick to riding from the front.

And 2 more valuable handicaps at Kempton. Perfect tactics on a course that gets like a bog in the straight after any rain. Shelling peas.
