12.20 Hunt.....Elite jockey v Glorified amateur.

Never misses a chance does he although well merited there

I would question calling Cobden and elite jockey. If that's what he's called these days just shows how bad the standard is.

Some of the top Irish yards appear to think he is.

Is he of the standard of AP, Barry G, Ruby when they all rode together... Nowhere close but he is very good. He rarely gets it wrong tactically, is good in a finish, can pace from the front very well, and doesn't lose on the best horse in the race that much. Nico, however, the total opposite.

Newmarket hovers over his keyboard waiting and praying for a chance to slate Nico.
The despicable moron posted straight after Nico took a bad fall at Plumpton.
He was born a moron and will die in the same state

It's a futile discussion Newmarket as it can never be proved or disproved. And we're in an era of stringent whip rules. They all need the horses, then and now. It will never happen for obvious reasons but Cobden being main jockey for Skelton would be an interesting prospect, to say the least.
