Ted was asked just before the off today what he fancied in the Gold Cup, He said he was an 'aul softie' and fancied Kauto, what he said just after about supporting Kauto sounded like a lovely turn of phrase, but I couldn't quite decipher it, anyone know what he said?

It would have been his usual nonsense, he's clueless

By:
Something like "I am with Kauto and will be till he takes his last breath"

By:
'until his eyes close'

a genius compared with any of the other clowns on channel 4 blackburn.

By:
ta really thought it showed his affection for the horse, which he wouldn't really let on often
|

By:
moyes, he's a joke, if it wasn't for his lad he'd be nowhere near the telly. Comparing him with other C4 chumps hardly makes him good.

Ted knows more than most, and clearly more than blackburn.

You need to learn we are all the same, if Nicholls talks sense he does, if he doesnt he doesnt. If Walsh talks sense he does, if he doesnt he doesnt. There are no other criteria in judging things, people are people some are right some are wrong (depending on your opinion). The way to progress is treat everyone the same.
|

By:
My opinion is Walsh is fantastic for the game, he has a great personality, an opinion, is very knowledgable and most importantly flexible to change from old school , maybe via his son, racing needs people like Walsh in future and his son who is the best jumps jockey on the planet.

Ruby is the best jock I've ever seen, his dad is a clown dining out on Ruby's success

find it hard to read you dont think father ted is not the dogs bits .topman never find anything wrong with his thoughts ruby to .most of the paddys tell it how it is unlike some of the prats we have

...and you couldnt find a more down to earth great bloke than Ruby Walsh .. my favourite jockey on all codes. You could take the p1ss out of him and he wouldnt care, he is above that he knows what is important, you can see it in his personality.
|
|
By:
Have to agree about Ted Walsh. Bloke seems hard work at the best of times but still head and shoulders above the rest of the dinosaurs at C4. When oh when are McGrath and Francome going to be pensioned off
|
|
By:
Ted was a fine amateur jockey,not a bad trainer,speaks his mind without fear of upsetting the pc lot,better insight into game than most other ch4 pundits.Good guy.
|
|
By:
Ted is fine imo.
It's the women on the show who talk utter crap, but you'd expect that really. |

Ted was on TV long before Ruby made it big time and always seemed to speak sense. My brother and some of his mates met him on a train to Aintree he chatted with them all the way and was good company, joked and had the craic with them. That was the year the National was cancelled and ran on the monday when Lord Gyllene won.So unless he has changed in the mean time, he seems a decent bloke. On Thursday he slagged off Ruby for droppong his whip on Big Bucks calling it a school boy error and when pulled up by Francome said i don't call anyone else but if there is anyone i can call its Ruby ( or words to that effect).I also believe he had a go at Ruby when he got beaten by Best Mate when riding Commanche Court , saying you'll have the chance to win many Gold Cups but this might be my only chance and you bolloxed it up (or words to that effect). I think with an old man like that you are never going to get to big for your boots.

ted walsh was the leading amateur rider in ireland for the best part of 20 yr.he trained a grand national winner,a triumph hurdle winner and was within a hairs breath of winning a gold cup.the man is a ledgend and were lucky to have him.hes very insightful and has a unique and honest way of telling it as it is.

|
By:
The only shame with Ted is that we can't have him on the Morning Line every week
|

By:
last season's Lexus at Leopardstwon- finish fought out by What A Friend and Money Trix, clear of Joncol. barely had the two English-trained horses gone past in front when Ted declared on RTE - 'well that's a right kick in the town halls for the Irish chances in the Gold Cup'. Tells it like it is and certainly not clueless.
|
|
By:
Ted Walsh is a absolute gentleman and we are lucky to have him on RTE all year.
I will never forget an incident a couple of years ago when Aiden O'Brien was trying to persude George Washington to go out onto the track and we had to listen to Robert Hall marvelling about what a wonderful horseman Aiden was and how difficult the horse must be to train,at which point Ted retorts-Nothing a couple tears across the hole wouldn't sort out! |
|
By:
I'm surprised to see Ted coming in for stick. Think he's excellent myself.
|
|
By:
Hasn't got a scooby about British form and can get very parochial about Irish horses but is good value nonetheless
|
|
By:
Oh yes he's entertaining, but his tips are garbage
|
|
By:
Who cares blackburn,they are only there for entertainment.
Anybody who follow's pundits tips deserve to be put away imo. |

Ted's favourite and most used answer to all problems is "to give it a few slaps on the arrse"...
|
|
By:
and 'hes a hell of a horse'
 |
|
By:
ted is a sound lad me thinks. says what he thinks, no beating about the bush
|
|
By:
I'm sure Ted will be taking all the criticism onboard, he probably thinks more of McCririck then some of you lot ffs

Good job we're not trying to win a popularity contest then isn't it?
