Prior to racing I did think of posting "how many last hurdle/fence fall for Ruby", but then thought better of it as it was not the x'mas spirit thing to do.
Faugheen crumbled on landing; he looked a tired fall to me. |

Matt Chapman
And for what it's worth I thought the old boy had Apple's Jade covered  |

By:
Chapman is a "paid" wind-up merchant. Faugheen had Apples Jade covered? He must have been watching the wrong race or with rose-tinted glasses. How utterly preposterous that comment was!

Faugheen didn't crumble on landing, he dived at it and took a pearler. If he'd crumbled on landing he wouldn't have landed with his neck at such a horrible angle.

Faugheen,s front legs caught the top of the hurdle

The watershed moment was when Mullins publicly criticised him a month or so back, that was a real big deal.

By:
Sorry, did not watch the close-up just late transmitted video of the race. Thank-goodness, he got up after a longish delay.

Thing is with Walsh....Old Father Time has caught up with him. Trouble he doesn't think so!!
I fear he is going to get badly injured one of these days. |
|
By:
it was still cruising maybe 3L down and overstretched and crumpled..no fault of jockey and who knows the outcome..anyone that says it was tired are absolutely clueless.
|
|
By:
Willie......agreed. I used to wade in pretty heavy on Walsh........defo NO more. In my opinion something has got into his head. He not the force he once was. It comes to us all I'm afraid.

By:
something in his head makes them fall?
|
|
By:
He does not make the running much these days, I wonder why. But mightily glad Limini and Ruby stayed upright throughout the race - I thought they would part company the way Ruby got into Limini.

RETIRE

By:
Is he still the number 1? Townend is riding the fav in the opener and 3rd race at Punchestown today; only on one winner for Mullins on saturday, and few and far between since middle of last week.

The horse was pulling very hard and jumped the hurdle perfectly. How on earth is that rubys fault?

By:
Walsh is 66/1 for the Irish Jockeys Championship with Townend at 4/7,......?

clearly not the same rider as in years gone by
IMO he has come back too early from his bad fall last season |

How many were Skelton ahead of Johnson at one time?; 47 is not such a tall order if Ruby has the same number of rides as he did in the past seasons to allow him to catch up afterall both he and Townend are riding for the same stable. To me he's not as hungry for rides or as successful as he once was. Also, it is taking him longer to over his injuries these days.
Like Faugheen it's time both Faugheen and Ruby call it a day, I believe. |

Ruby's already said he can't win title and Townsend can so he's letting him have more rides as it would be selfish if he didn't.
