Tried to remount too...
Think Gary got that one wrong. He said Ruby suddeny remembered the change in the rule. To me it looked like he thought he had enough time to get back up and win, until he saw the first two jump the last fence before he got back on.
Not to be trusted,for me.
(and then either winning or losing.)
Odds-on backers had hearts in mouths, with that mistake at the last, by Ruby
is a phrase I've heard many times over the years

Ive always rated Ruby as the best ive seen but its at the stage currently you are bricking it everytime he comes to the last with a chance or more so simply has to jump it .
No excuse there, none, and the point above is 100 % correct, he s not riding dogs here like some, he s on classy animals so his stats should be much lower in truth.
What are the stats for jockeys who fall at the first,second, third etc? I'd bet Ruby Walsh's stats for these are very good and I'd say he's more likely than any other jockey to at least make it as far as the last fence/hurdle.
I , in the medium term which is the past 2 years have when ive had the chance laid Ruby when approaching the last in command and I can tell you it happens more then enough to make good money

Think Kevin Blake did some stats on this and Ruby fell at the last no more than other jockeys was the conclusion
Talk about fake news and alternative facts!
The stats show that we falls off far more often than the rest, ffs!
Other times before i would,he is sometimes sitting just a bit too far back on by far the best horse,,no option but to go then at full speed.
I suppose as stated he's more often than not on the best or one of the better horses in any race he competes in these days and likely to be close to the lead at the final obstacle and also horse is more likely to fall at the end of a race when tired (particularly on bad ground).

I've watched this about 10 times and Ruby approached the fence no different than any of the previous fences which the horse negotiated fine,horse just crumpled on landing (yes I did back it) I suppose as stated he's more often than not on the best or one of the better horses in any race he competes in these days and likely to be close to the lead at the final obstacle and also horse is more likely to fall at the end of a race when tired (particularly on bad ground).
I thought he gave the horse a squeeze a couple of strides before the jump then sat when he knew he was wrong at it.

If it was a squeeze it was minimal and wouldn't warrant the horse doing what it did as you can't really say he went for a big one or anything remotely like it,I can't believe there are still people out there who think that this is done deliberately.
Even on this site I don't think anyone is that mad
