Looking ahead to new chapter and ready to travel for rides

Picture the following scenario: you are the managing director of a global behemoth while still in your early twenties. Everybody is talking about you. Everybody knows who you are. Everybody knows you're doing well for yourself. So much power for somebody so young. The world is at your feet.

Then, a little over a year after negotiating the biggest deal in the company's history, you are brought into the owner's office and asked to vacate the position. You now have to watch others do the job you thought you were doing so well. Can't be easy, can it?

That is the situation Bryan Cooper finds himself in right now. Sixteen short months after guiding Don Cossack to glory in the Cheltenham Gold Cup his job as Gigginstown's number one was gone. He's back freelancing and fighting for rides. Participation in Grade 1s is no longer guaranteed. This is not something he is used to.
