maybe he has his eye on the Gigginstown job when Davy finishes though

3 place only,6/4,6/4,6/4,easy money,the wworlds greatest jockey.

cork today,2 at 6/4 place?.

her the fact that you made a comparison between mick fitz and ruby is a joke in it self, ruby is far superior, andin terms of winners mcoys has rode more winner than ruby, but the big meetings the valuable races, ruby is hands down the greatest, he won more big races than anyone else in history, streets ahead of any one at the festival and still loads more to come, mccoys far better at riding poor horses, put himv on a top horse and he'll ge it beat, rubys a much better horseman FACT

utter rubbish McCoy is head and shoulders above Walsh who simply rides a huge amount of steering jobs. The ride on Toubab yesterday was quite frankly pathetic

met ruby in dub airport last night buying milk, he had a face like thunder, wasnt very freindly when we asked him did he have any luck :)

Im surprised Ruby is as straight as he is, when you consider his father couldnt lie straight in bed.
Ruby has been picking and choosing his mounts for some time now, and who can blame him.
One for the future is Eddie O'Connell, will be very good one day.

Some right rubbush on this. Ruby gets many, many high class steering jobs and is all class. Imagine the confidence he gets from riding those. AP is outstanding, we have been lucky to have him, the idiots who knock him have an axe to grind, when he quits only then will people respect him and his achievements. He is a fantastic jockey and anyone denying them must be ignorant.

As for Christian Williams, I did not mind him RDS, although i think the final straw came on a ride at Huntingdon which looked quite bad on Predateur - he did not ride very many after that (not sure if that was the reason why). Heard was quite ordinary and Tizz was (and remains) anything other than a top class jockey.

Denman85 - I think you are talking rubbish. Who does Henderson put up after Barry Gerraghty? Who did Nicholls turn to when his jockeys were injured last yr?

It is true, AP has always been motivated to win the title (a numbers game and as you say, GL to him for that) and has consequently put himself about, riding rubbish at Catterick of Fakenham, riding at Worcester through the summer evenings. AP rode for Pipe when his yard was crammed full of hanidcappers with the odd graded horse. He rides for Jonjo whose yard is mainly full (and has been for yrs) of rubbiush.

Ruby rides for the 2 most powerful (in terms of quality) yards in Europe. Every Saturday he is not scratching round on jonjo's rubbish but riding 2 lovely novices, something fancied in the big handicap and if it is a conditions race, usually the favourite. Do you really, honestly believe, the only reason Kauto, Denman, Twist Magic, Neptune, Master Minded, Taranis, Big Bucks etc etc etc etc kept on winning was because Ruby was on them? If so mate you are deluded. They were just quite simply the best horses.

And do not say AP gets Denman floored because it is simply untrue - Denman fell for Sam T at Aintree and UR for AP at Newbury (when Nicholls said he was undercooked) but AP finished 2nd to Impreial Commander at Cheltenham when Kauto - ridden by Ruby - had made 1 serious error and had fallen (I am not blaming Ruby, but these are facts). AP next did a magnificent job steering him around Punchestown when the horse hated it there.

In careers where they have both ridden thousands of horses, of course you can point to many bad rides. But I could be irrational and start blaming Ruby for - kauto falling in the gold cup, kauto's terrible + costly error at Aintree 3 yrs ago, Master Minded's terrible + costly error at Aintree 3 yrs ago, his error at Cheltenham in March this yr. I do not do that because racing is not so black and white.

Who would I want on either in a gold cup? My view is irrelevant but lets look at what Nicholls and his owners thnk because in the yr when everyone thought it was a match between Denman and Kauto (but Imperial won) and Ruby chose Kauto, who did Nicholls and his Denmans owners chose? AP, not Sam Thomas.

i do beleive if mccoy would of rode every horse rubys rode at festival in his career he would of rode less winners, thats just my opionion, i just dont think mccoys take a horse over a fence like ruby, hurdles they aint much between the two, but over fences walsh is the better horseman, that just my view , and i aint knocking mccoy, just think walsh is better over fences, im sure im not alone in this view.

I dont care who you are,any Jockey who has a bad run of injuries will start to think twice before firing a novice chaser into a fence.

tony mcoy,nicolls,denman1/6 fell king george,kauto star 4/7lost.?

Anyone who knocks this chap is a fool.

herblington with more utter clueless rants- bellend! end of story, why waste time on fools like this

Two class acts,Ruby for me though!

Great WD, ignore the sustantive post & concentrate on aftertiming. GL.

You have clearly not read any of my posts about Ruby Taipan? I think he is wonderful, flawless.

I was merely reversing the technique the brain dead Ruby fans/AP knockers use against Ruby himself. Ruby is flawless but how anyone can knock APs whole career on the basis of his rides on Denman (which were not bad IMO) is beyond me - i tried to demonstrate how irrational that is by doing the same thing to Ruby (selecting a few times the horse got beat at odds on and blaming Ruby).

not knocking tony ,unlucky for nicolls stable?.

Oh dear.
