Dave it is amazing that the lad has had such a good career in the saddle

considering the scrapes he has got into through the drink.

He looks ruined from it. The bet was 10 years ago and although he drew in reality he did not last the 2 years. He has made up for it since anyway.

He is a fair advertisement to giving it up anyway

yes a major talent wee eck

Dave I met him when he 1st started riding in England he was a smashing lad.

good crack,one monday morn in dublin airport bar he put away 4 double vodkas later that afternoon rode a treble at newcastle

Dave, funny you should mention that, it was a Monday and he was riding for

Robert Ogden, for reasons I cannot go into I remember the day very well.

lol no wonder he was on good form.best performance i saw from him was at a point to point dance in ireland after a few jumped up on top table with the mike signing his famous alice song he brought the house down

Best horse rider, flat or jumps, I've ever seen.

Although these Carberry interviews typically follow the same pattern......L'escargot....Bobbyjo.....rode a horse to a pub.....lit a fire on a plane......sings Alice song to other jockeys.......failed an alcohol test.....off drink since.

Why does nobody tackle him about Harchibald and Psycho in the interviews....!!..?

Didn't mention taking a €100,000 2 year old out when Noel Meade was away at the Curragh and popping it over a couple of hurdles

Not sure I'd agree with 'best' since he hasn't really fulfilled his potential but he's certainly the most natural horseman I've seen.

did he mention the night him and thomas came home after the pub in the dark dragged a pony out into the schooling field and tomas shined a torch at the take off board of a chase fence as paul approached he turned the light off!!! ten mins later after laughing so hard called an ambulance lol

remember a jockey telling me when he was with h johnson on the sunday they went up motorway to point to point ,carberry got out on roof and was surfing all the way pissed of course!!

lol

The guy's a fruitcake,but one of the best Jockeys i have ever seen.

Unknowingly he was the means of me getting a right few quid.[;)]

THAT!ride at kempton...st stehens day ..harchibald...[:o][:o][:o][:o][:o]

the head lad at meades sacked him one evening when noel was away.obviously paul was only young lad at the time. noel rung him the next day, alright paul are u not well today or something that your not in?ah no cullen sacked me yesterday evening for bein lazy!!!dont mind that f***ing eejit get in here as soon as ya can.

His father was also quite a character in his younger days, he used to run big races in the Ashbourne House Hotel and Mick Ryans in Ratoath with his drinking buddy Ray Lyons who used fly the horse planes

absolutely taking the p#ss this afters
