i KNEW IT - COULD SENSE IT AS HE APPROACHED THE LAST. WALSH FALLS AT THE LAST ON YET ANOTHER ODDS-ON CHELTENHAM FAV, WITH THE RACE AT HIS MERCY. AND HE COST ME A TREBLE. GRRRRR!!!!
Me too mate. I had it with Duc Des Genievres and Beware The Bear. Thought it was all good until a couple of strides out you could see it. Gutted to say the least
So unlucky chaps. Just think Ruby consistently shows a "switch off" point mentally, and unlike other jockeys seems to cruise and flap about on these types rather than keep a horse interested and up to its work.
Ruby is amazing to watch and he.os.so successful, but is there a bit of arrogance with him.not changing? He has had so many of those falls in that situation. Should he not look to change how he approaches and jumps in that situation. If it happens once it is a mistake, if it happens twice it is a choice. Happened a lot more than twice though
i agree with Millhouse. Walsh absolutely stinks. How can you have as many high profile fallers littered amongst the successes he has especially like today when the race is absolutely dead and buried.
He said something to Luke Harvey on arriving back into the jockeys room after the CH aswell. Everybody and their auntie would’ve said that his mount was going as well as anything in that race, if not best. Walsh said it wasn’t and he was never happy with it.
