BoyleSports has announced former jockey Bryan Cooper has joined its stable of horse racing ambassadors just two weeks before the tape gets lifted and the famous roar rings out at the Cheltenham Festival.
Bryan Cooper Announced As New BoyleSports Horse Racing Ambassador
Cooper, who enjoyed an illustrious career in the saddle, is best known for his unforgettable victory on board the Gordon Elliott-trained Don Cossack in the 2016 Cheltenham Gold Cup.
In his new role with BoyleSports, the esteemed rider will use his first-hand experience on racing’s biggest stages to provide exclusive expert insights, previews and analysis to customers and horse racing fans alike. He joins former weigh-room colleague Robbie ‘Puppy’ Power and trainer John ‘Shark’ Hanlon to form a big-hitting trio of horse racing representatives for the bookie.
Cooper’s transition from the saddle to the world of expert analysis continued when he offered fans his valuable insight at last week’s Cheltenham Festival preview night hosted by BoyleSports at Limerick Racecourse, which raised funds for Irish Injured Jockeys.
Speaking about joining the BoyleSports team, Cooper said:
“ I am delighted to be joining the BoyleSports family and look forward to sharing my experiences and insights with racing fans. As huge supporters of racing, particularly in Ireland, BoyleSports is a brand that clearly values this great sport, and I’m thrilled to be on board in time for another Cheltenham Festival which promises so much excitement.”
The Kerryman also shared his big tips for the Festival, insisting Gold Cup favourite and Willie Mullins’ banker, Galopin Des Champs, will not be denied in his quest for a third consecutive victory in the big race: “I cannot see him getting beaten, even a below par run compared to his other two Gold Cups will be good enough to win this.
"I’ve yet to see a horse win an Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown the way Galopin Des Champs has done it the last two times. The distance he puts between himself and good horses from the back of the last fence to the line is exceptional. It’s very nice to watch and hopefully he’ll get the job done at Cheltenham.”
Welcoming Cooper to his new role, Sharon McHugh, Head of PR & Sponsorship for BoyleSports, said:
We are thrilled to welcome Bryan Cooper as our new horse racing ambassador to strengthen our commitment to providing top-tier analysis and tips. With such an impressive career, and alongside Robbie and Shark, we’re confident Bryan’s addition to the team to form a fantastic racing trio will bring an added dimension to our racing coverage. We look forward to working with him during the Cheltenham Festival and beyond.”
