Cheltenham Stat: Ruby hasn't rode a winner this decade over the

dont worry about that stat mate.

imo he's probably the best jockey to show a horse a fence.

agree...he's definitely deteriorated over Chelt fences last 2 or 3 yrs for some reason...stats dont lie

Falling off Kauto Star a perfect example.

One of the greatest jockeys of all time, if he had the same amount of rides as AP had he'd have been champion jockey for the last 15 years in the uk . .with 300+ winners every season . .BUT 52 rides 52 losers including n Gold Cup winners doesn't bode well and for that reason...I'm out.

So based on this stat you are opposing all his chase rides at the festival blindly?

Worrying stat if you're a fan of Arvika Legionnaire, Boston Bob, Aupcharlie, Silviniaco Conti or Ulck Du Lin.

He won't be on Boston Bob or AupCharlies so that's not much of a concern.

Who'll be on them then?

Latest bit of news on Boston Bob said Townend most likely rides him, as Ruby rides Unioniste.

Andrew Lynch will ride Aupcharlie as he rides all the Potts' horses.

There is something not right about this statistic Analogue??

I did a search on the Racing Post website and he's

2 from 16 in Cheltenham chases in 2010-11
4 from 29 in Cheltenham chases in 2011-12
4 from 15 in Cheltenham chases in 2012-13

AD I presume you are just trying to stir the sh1t with this one. There are statistics and statistics.

For the record, that stat is absolute rubbish. He rode Al Ferof in the Paddy Power Gold Cup

Shouldn't really be posting nonsense like that unless you're certain

Here's some other useful facts -

Tony Mccoy has not ridden a hurdles winner at Cheltenham since Unsinkable boxer won

Paul Nicholls has gone 14 years without winning a hurdle race at Cheltenham

It is widely accepted that Nicky Henderson won 7 races last year. This is not true. He has saddled 145 runners at Cheltenham without a winner.

Do you think he might be alluding to the festival with that stat.

Read the opening post again...The clues is in...FESTIVAL

As a matter of fact if i put FESTIVAL it might have helped what a plonker i am

It was festival i meant Soyouthink. Kauto Star was the last chase course winner he rode at the festival...Hope that clears it up

They must have slipped in another festival or two since 2009 that I wasn't aware of, it's impossible for Ruby to have rode 52 festival chases since he won on Kauto Star.

Isn't this the stat for Nicholls horses?

the clue is in the title THIS DECADE so that is 2 festivals, 10 chase races per festival = 20 races

DOH! 2010, 2011, 2012 = 30 Races

dog's breakfast of a thread

WHAT A THREAD!

I'm a stats man - and this one is so pisspoor it makes us look like we believe anything!

I agree with ash

Can we have an argument as to what decade the 2009/10 season is in please, it could be crucial for this thread.

Thanks, the fact is RUBY HAS NOT RODE A WINNER OVER THE AINTREE FENCES DURING THE FESTIVAL SINCE 2009

Sorry . . CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL

Aintree?

AD stop digging ffs

Stop drinking more like :-)

The telling thing for me is that Ruby has NEVER won a chase on a Nicholls OR Mullins horse at either the Cheltenham Festival or Aintree Grand National Meeting whilst going right handed.

I've just seen that.....hic..... Jonjo aint never ridden one of rubys horses to victory.........hic.........in the cross country. Hic.

I've just seen that.....hic..... Jonjo aint never ridden one of rubys horses to victory.........hic.........in the cross country. Hic.

And still the wait goes on

should have ridden boston Bob ffs

Another day over and another winner-less day over fences for Ruby

mr eboue think tony rode alderwood last year.

Paul Nicholls needs to bring back Joe Tizzard. You know it makes sense to get the jockey in form.

We can put this strange thread to bed when Silvinaico Conti wins the gold cup.

I'm even more convinced now after seeing how the Nicholls horses have been running and how horses with previous festival form have been winning that SC will not be winning the Gold Cup

see you after Brookies

I thought of todays winners only Cue Card had run well at the festival before. The winner of the Jewson and WH Underperformed on their previous visits here although noted that they had actually ran here.

the whole meeting

4years or 1460 days or even 35040 hours since Ruby last rode a winner over the festival fences

aaa

not sure if u guys fckin about but ruby not riding siv conti!!!!!

Best. Thread. Ever.

record in chases since 2008 below. More letters than finishes (only 4 completions from 18 rides in 2012-13......)

2 more winners over hurdles today took Ruby's record in same period over smaller obstacles to 19-56

Chase record now reads 0-36 since Kauto won in 2009. Champagne Fever today only his third placed effort over fences during that time

Tomorrow:
no. 37 Ballycasey
no. 38 Arvika Ligeonniere

Ruby gave CF a good ride in the arkle today. All those horses named above, from the ones i recall nobody would have won on them.

never forgive him for his ride on ouninpohja in the county hurdle he admitted he got it wrong after race
find it hard to back him ever since

palacegatetouch - note the dates on the "older" posts

another hurdles winner now 20-59 since 2009, while chase run up to 38

Tomorrow:

no. 40 Boston Bob
