Sad to hear of his retirement , and wish him all the best for his future.
I thought that he was destined for the stars when he first burst on the scene.
Absolutely terrible luck with injuries , including a horrendous broken leg.
I hope that he is fully healed and able to fully enjoy his retirement
30 is a very young age to retire but he had horrendous bad luck with injuries. It is tough in Ireland if you are not riding regularly for Mullins, Elliot or De Bromhead.
Good luck to him and I hope he stays involved with racing.
O’Leary was not v complimentary about him during the ITV interview, which perhaps says more about O’Leary than Cooper. Be interesting to learn the full story of why he became unfashionable.
