I agree. Which is hard for me to say as I dislike the bloke
 But he is a master tactician, strong and there's nobody else i'd want in the saddle on one i've backed. |

Without wanting to leave a hostage to fortune but is without a doubt the finest exponent we've ever seen of the art of jump race riding,no better jockey has ever thrown his leg over a horse

One of the best ever but anyone who saw the great Martin Moloney would disagree.

No eulogies yesterday!?
Fickle. |

I think most people kinda accept that class is permanent...a few great chances 2day again and from what info Paul Nichols is putting out he will be stunned if Big Bucks gets turned over.....

He was quite clearly on the best horse in two of those races and the other one fell into his lap.
No doubt he`ll ride a treble again today and I`ll have egg on my face as usual but Townend could have won on both Mullins horses on Tuesday. |

i reluctantly have to agree that ruby is the best i've ever seen ..not to keen on him as a person not that it worries him and cant seem to catch him when hes on a run ....but as a jockey hes simply the best and i've seen lots ....been going racing since late 60s ....
|

By:
Yes!

By:
I`d respect your opinion on that wr, but as you say, very hard to like the guy.

Gentleman of the Highest order,He is from Cork stock so that air of confidence is merited!

By:
He's a cute hoor.
|

By:
Don't think his personality comes into it when he's sitting stalking the leaders on your bet with a double handful

That was utterly horrendous from ruby there though

Sivota never travelled in the race and was being niggled in last place going out on the second circuit.
|
|
By:
Seriously punch? I didn't notice that but looked to be travelling well coming into the straight but was way too far out of his ground
|
|
By:
Yeah Satelitte,he was never on the bridle at any stage,my eyes were glued to Ruby there,as I said stone last going out on the final circuit,and he honestly persisted where many others might have given up.
|
|
By:
I'll have a scan of the race again after racing [;)]
|
|
By:
I'd be interested to hear what you think Satellite.
 |
|
By:
Magic
...even without the stick[;)] great show of strength from horse and rider.... |
|
By:
Brilliant jockey. Dunwoody has always been my favourite and I've no doubt he would ride the same winners Ruby does if he had've had the Nicholls/Mullins ammo. Not Ruby's fault of course, and he had to be good to get the two jobs in the first place.

Just watched it again punch, watching it more closely it looks like they are always going a yard too quick for him. He didn't jump the hurdle well leaving the stands after a circuit and dropped to last and got niggled a bit, then got pushed along a bit after the 2nd in the back and the 3rd, was then ridden down the hill but looking back on it everything seemed to happen too quickly for him. Perhaps he needs the ground softer? Anyway after studying it more closely i'd take back my statement
|
|
By:
absolute genius i dont know how anyone could have been better
|
|
By:
Sat,fair play to you and you're bang on about the ground for Sivota.
|
|
By:
The ground didn't seem to be a problem at Punchestown last season
Anyway for balance here's the RP close up 'Sivota, two places behind Son Amix at Leopardstown, probably should have reversed form, being held up right at the back before finishing strongly'. |
|
By:
nt if he keeps riding like dat
|
|
By:
ya, the best I've seen anyway, backed Getmeoutofhere today, Fckin Ruby

|

By:
Ruby is on Denman this weekend at Aintree...........and will he replace Daryl Jacob on the triumph winner who must surely take all the beating in the 4yr old hurdle...faster track better ground made for him??
|

By:
