Who has written him off ?

Is it not appropriate to discuss his current standard of riding?

Most contributions on this thread have commented on how he seems like a decent chap,so I would say the posts are objective and fair.

Wonky is a good un, telling us that he was better than anybody at presenting horses at a fence, he was in his hole. Did you ever hear of Ruby Walsh ?, or Geraghty for that matter. If he lives to be 1000, Cooper wouldn't hold their coats.

Bryan Cooper is clearly going through a bad patch at present. I think he is a better Chase jockey than hurdles jockey. Seems to present horses better at fences than hurdles. Always seems to ride horses wide of the field in hurdle races. Is this because he fears getting injured if he falls in a bunch of horses?.
If you look at The Game Changers 3 runs over fences it tells the story of where Cooper is at present. This horse seems to really enjoy jumping fences. On his 1st run Davy Russell seemed to sense this and let him do his own thing up front and the horse was brilliant. 2nd time Cooper back on and while he let the horse at it seemed to have less trust and wanted more control and while the horse won he was less impressive. Last night seemed to be a case of a jockey with low confidence somehow getting the best horse beaten.
All jockeys go through a bad patch. Cooper has a high profile and as a result we are talking about him.Before Barry Geraghty got the Henderson job his confidence was low and he looked washed up. Things got better for Barry and hopefully will for Bryan Cooper.
The next NH season will tell us a lot about Cooper. A good season and its onwards and upwards. A bad season and he will be a journeyman.

Strangely enough I have to again disagree with The Gotchee although this is based on a gut feeling.

I was thinking about backing a Gordon Elliott trained horse and found myself delighted that Kennedy was riding rather than Cooper.
Elliott must have learned plenty off Martin Pipe,he is getting yokes that cost little or nothing to win race after race,becoming a great great trainer.

Gobshee, Jack Kennedy has ridden 10 winners in less than 3 months riding, you absolute tool.
Form is temporary, class is permanent, what a stupid cliche that is. Typical of a clown that knows nothing.
Wonky, As for JJ Burke, it wouldnt be his time of year, but from what i see of him he is excellent, there isnt one race where you could say he lost where he should have won, Cooper has about a dozen of those this year alone.

Gobshee, and thank fukk theres only one of you. He is riding with less than 2 months, and has ridden 7 winners over jumps and 4 on the flat, nobody was even mentioning pony racing.
By the way what does horses being favourites have anything to do with a jockey getting them over the line?, should he win the race twice or what ?. Brian Cooper rode a raging hot favourite last night and he threw away the race,i'd say Cooper rides more favourites than most and doesnt win on many either.

There may well be a lack of oxygen going to my brain wonky, thank god you will never have such a problem. When the oxygen does finally reach your head, it certainly will have plenty of room to float around.
In the thickness stakes, it would be  some buckle between yourself and the gobber, a hard enough one to call.
Id say you'd be alot cuter though wonks, you seem to be able to play the system very well, and the daughter would be looking after you as well out of her earnings!!
No wonder you can be lobbing hundreds into betfair whenever you like, the wildman is right, you do have an idyllic lifestyle.

Funnily enough workrider, I was talking to a chap who lives near mincer. He told me that mincer was so ugly when he was young his mother had shutters on his pram.

Ye would make a good old comedy act wonks, yerself and the gobber. It could well be the three stooges but you'd struggle to get another member to really match ye.

I thought he was a goner as well but he was grand,got up when the screens were going round him.
