Luke just beat me to it . For sure over fences he nothing like the jock he was when riding for henderson.

The JP job was the wrong one for BJG in terms of his ability as a jockey IMO as he was never going to get horses to win when they had no right to like AP did. Maybe the right one in terms of swelling his bank balance though

BJG was going to retire but decided for whatever reason to do one more year. I don't think we'll see him on the JP plots in March.
Has to be Rubys last season now surely. Don't think we'll see anyone for some time get anywhere near his Cheltenham statistics, phonmeonal, even if half the horse were steering jobs.
Wonder if Willie will give Townend the big slot, or look at poaching someone else.
That's probably a fair shout lads.
Given that he was supposed to be aiming to be back for Listowel, it was odd to see Ruby in Seoul helping to saddle Riven Light. However, as Paul has ridden a four-timer today, owners probably don't have too many concerns.
The older I get the better I was.
His plan is to be riding at Listowel.
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

Ruby Walsh is not expected to ride at Listowel tomorrow, his agent Jennifer Walsh tells me Taking a bit more time to recover from bruising to his ribs
The joys of ageing.
The joys of transitioning into a new career, more like?

without getting into his riding abilities at the current time, he's not going to help himself stay healthy if he keeps falling off horses. not sure how much the guy can take.
