The jockey tells Donald McRae about recovering from a broken neck, caring for his rides, and steering Fergie’s horse in the Gold Cup this week
Harry Cobden is lucky. At the age of 20 he will ride Clan Des Obeaux, the joint favourite, in his first Gold Cup on Friday. He will also enter the Cheltenham Festival, which starts on Tuesday, as the 10-time champion trainer Paul Nicholls’s stable jockey in one of the most coveted positions in racing. Clan Des Obeaux is part-owned by Sir Alex Ferguson and Cobden tells some amusing stories about hanging out with Fergie even though, as he cheerfully admits, he knows nothing about football.
