Bryan Cooper.
BRYAN Cooper will probably get free flights for life as the Tralee man won the Cheltenham Gold Cup on Don Cossack just after 3.30pm.
It’s the young jockey’s first Gold Cup win and joy was etched on his face as they past the finishing post to win for trainer Gordon Elliott and owner Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary.
It justifies his decision to choose the horse over Don Poli, as the 9/4 favourite captured the week’s marquee prize.
They were celebrating in Tralee, as this video of people cheering him on watching on TV in The Castle Bar shows.
