The greatest of all time. My love for Horse Racing grew because of Ruby.
Nobody in history will ever able to hold AP MCOYS Coat Levels above everyone
@@TLF1disagree
He’s not in the same league as AP
@@TheBLAZE6-r6r 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@TheBLAZE6-r6rWhy McCoy belting dogs around Ludlow on a Tuesday.? Ruby another level of horseman than McCoy not in the same district as ruby
Amazing Ruby’s memories of how so many races panned out and what he was thinking in each of them
Jesus Christ Ruby has got some memory capacity. Remembers everything. Could listen to his tales all day
Me too...He tells an anecdote perfectly..He doesn't pause for effect...he doesn't waffle or exaggerate...he is succinct and if he says he doesn't agree or does agree you know he is telling the truth..amazing man and thoroughly enjoyable to listen to... quickest 1 hr 45 minutes ever
What an interview the way he is able to bring you through the races like you’re reliving them again a racing great there will never be another ruby!
Thank you Ruby for showing us the great insight into a stellar career in the saddle. IM a total Kauto Star fan winning 5 king George's was absolutely magnificent Im so glad that Kauto was at the top of the list😊
Loved Kauto, loved watching Ruby ride. The ultimate jockey and horseman.
Legend. Even though he’s losing his hair, he looks younger then when he was riding! Less stress no doubt, Absolute legend.
The best ive ever seen and my sporting hero. Ruby Walsh u gave us some great memories thankyou
francome probably the only jockey who is comparable to ruby.........but ruby was the tops
unbelievable video, would absolutely love to see an AP version of this. such a joy to watch and listen to!
fantastic from Ruby great insight and to me the Best Jockey i have seen
A legend of the sport . No more words need said..... so wonders for the sport and has knowledge of it that is second to none....... Ruby the great
Great interview, he's nearly as entertaining as his dad Ted.😅 best jockey of last 25 years. Thanks Ruby
Any time I met Ruby at the races he was always very obliging with requests for autographs and photos. Very generous.
Arguably the greatest NH rider ever...I've seen the best since the 60s and Ruby is the best in my opinion.
Top man Ruby , just lovely to get his insight🎉
Best Jockey ever over the Jumps
Mr, Walsh is truly, a great man!! What more can you ask for in someone like his self!!😊😊😊
Well said Frankelforever14 👍
Hahahahahahaaa
Only one word: BRILLANT!
Absolutely brilliant piece this 👏 ... MORE of this kind of thing .. mccoy Geraghty Johnson doing something like this would be great to see
HERE HERE
Well that was brilliant
Great watch guys ! 🎉
I’m glad I grew up watching NH Hunt racing when Ruby, AP, and Barry were the pinnacle of the sport winning the best races on the best horses. NH Hunt racing is dead these days, get the odd race with a bit of enjoyment at the festival now and then and I’m only 27yo! but the early noughties, some of my first memories of watching racing at 6/7 years old, through to I’d say about 2019/20 is the pinnacle of national hunt racing as we know it. Many will disagree I’m sure. Ruby is a great man, just like AP and Barry, tells a great story like your riding the horses yourself! Miss those 3 a bunch!
AP MCCOY thr greatest Ever Jockey nobody comes close to Ap . Everyone said it even Ruby Getaghy and everyone else said AP the Greatest Jockey Ever.
@@TLF1disagree
@@johnsonkevin1 GOAT AP MCCOY MANY MANY MANY MANY MORE WINNERS THAN EVERYONE ELSE IN HISTORY STATS DONT LIE . IM FOLLOWING IT LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW AP IS THE GRWATEST EVER IN PAST PRESENT AND EVER WILL BE ALMOST 4 1/2 THOUSAND WINNERS. WON EVERUTHING END OF STORY THE GREATEST EVER AP.
@@TLF1 If that is what you base your theory on, then best of luck to you.
I won't waste my time if that is all you have.
@@johnsonkevin1 Its the ONLY WAY Ti know whos the Greatest. GREATEST OVER GENERATIONS IS THE TEST OF GREATEST. GREATEST OCER LONGEVITY IS EXACTLY WHAT SEPERATES EVERYONE IN ALL SPORTS. isnt it kid.
My #1 jump jockey the master
Along with John Francome brilliant horseman
Great interview
The greatest rider of all time. McCoy without doubt the greatest winner, but Ruby was sublime and in a league of his own on the big day.
Ruby is the greatest racing pundits of his generation thou
Named my daughter after Ruby...and my son after Henry Hill the gangster...my daughter isnt as yet an horse racing fan.. however my son aged 9 has already started playing poker all night and running protection rackets at the shops near the school...i took him to task but he just said "As far back as i can remember i always wanted to be a gangster" bloody kids.
Very gd
Ruby Ruby Ruby walking along singing a song walking in a Ruby wonderland there's only 1 Ruby walsh
Rupert was absolutely fantastic and did me plenty of favors, but i miss AP with a passion i just had so many winners 🏆 with that man 👍😉
A real legend
By far the greatest in the past 25 years!
And if some tool pipes up and tells me that AP was better then be very prepared to be schooled by me..
#knowledgeispower
#BUCKETLOADS
ruby different class to AP
Totally agree Martin
Another level of horseman than anything we have ever seen rupert Walsh
IMHO geraghty was the best - just look at his record in big races and try to think of how many mistakes he made….
@@mrbigshot1986 he was good but ruby better
arkle,crisp and denman all heart and ability
Still thought AP was a better jockey overall, but never the less still one of the all-time greats
I was by the water jump at Stratford!!!
Rupert has to be one of the greatest ( the Steve Cauthen of the jumps ) for me
The Real General
i really really enjoyed that could you not stick in a few more adverts
I'm curious had Ruby heard the kauto star song
I bet he has Douglas as the song says " We will never see the likes of Ruby Walsh and Kauto Star" love that song fitting tribute to horse and jockey
No words 💥💯💥👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The best to ever do it 🙌
His memory is freakish.
Any chance of someone interviewing Ron Barry?
You cant make a doc this good and not do one on Russell and Carberry.
There is a great one with Paul Carberry really worth seeing. He is like Ruby and great to hear him talk about his rides and the horses
@@suemaher5282 i think i seen that one
He was certainly the best at jumping off horses ,and the worst ever deception was his first jump off Annie power ,at final fence on the horse whilst 20 lengths clear ,because 3 previous favs had won Cheltenham that day millions was running on to Annie ,it was documented bookies stood to lose 40 million if ,Annie power had won so hence big brown envelope headed there way ,and the amazing roars as Annie power headed for the last fence clear ,turned to equally loud gasps as he jumped off it ,to be followed by silence .
What a load of absolute crap. Clueless comment
👨💻💩
@mickharrison9004 - Yeah because jockeys like Ruby definitely think it is better to risk potential permanent injury or even death, rather than win one of the most coveted races at the Cheltenham Festival. I am feeling second hand embarrassment for you after such a ridiculous post like that!
Have a bit of a think about this one and see if you can come up with a safer and more sensible way of throwing an NH race, rather than jumping off the horse at 35mph when clear at the last. Why would you even ride the horse to be in that position to do it that way, when there are 101 other better ways to do it?
Oh and you have heard of Graham Lee, right?
@@seanscanlon9067 Sean don't talk common sense to someone who hasn't a clue.
That’s absolute nonsense. Would you risk jumping off a horse going 40mph, I don’t think so! Can clearly see she was going too fast approaching the last, she was lit up and too free. Ruby in my opinion was the best jockey, sure AP was good and one loads of titles but look at how many horses he was riding to achieve that compared to Ruby. On the big race days Ruby outclassed him and in particular at Cheltenham he was in a different league to the other jockeys
Best jumps jockey ever hands down.
Ruby walsh is the greatest jump jockey that ever lived he was a guineas lol😂😂😂😂
the greatest of them all. thought master minded didnt get as much plaudits as maybe his performances deserved.
Doug Barrott was the pilot punters wanted to see , Ryan would have given Ruby a clout or two
Such a shame that a marvellous jockey like Ruby's most famous ride is the Annie Power fall.
It really is not
@@johnsonkevin1 speak for yourself?
@@Ironsmiler He has hundreds of Grade 1 victories.
Any of those.
@@johnsonkevin1 You honestly think some egg and spoon Grade 1 is more memorable than falling off Annie Power and saving the Books millions?
@@Ironsmiler egg and spoon Grade 1.
Strange comment
Brilliant jockey. Top of the game at the top of the game. National hunt is DEAD. Complete reform needed. 4 runner G1s with long odds on favs. It’s impossible to care about. Starts in November and doesn’t mean anything until Mid March at chelt. Where now there fields are small field matchups between Eng and IRE. And England doesnt couldn’t. England won’t get 5 on the board in 2024. Nonsense game.
No wonder he became a bookmakers ambassador.
He could dismount better than John Waynes stuntman!!
Uneducated comment.
You never sat on a horse
I like him a lot but very arrogant rude
I spoke to him at Cheltenham he was a gentleman
Ruby is not as wooden when he is the one being interviewed he kinda comes alive then , he keeps his wooden as a board routine when he is doing the punditry or interviewing someone sack him! useless shouldn't be on any tv
Sir AP mccoy is the greatest of all time .
No
Ah then again the horse he was on belong to rich richie me nanny would winning on ruby used to sulk when not on the favourite and will still denie it to this day Annie power wasent fixed 😅 same lad can't be any closer to paddy power these days anything with advertising ruby will be in it and he's ambassador for paddy the best freinds they be no such thing as paddy power bookies if Annie power had winning the whole country and England had the treble first won then the fairy man himself ruby put and end to paddy's losses 💯 but why not just admitt it your reitired boy atleast admitt it 😅
English please.
You on benefits?
Donkey 🫏
What Rubbish. U ever tried jumping off a galloping horse it would be suicide. U should try it if u think it would enter a jockeys head u would soon change your mind. He had rode alot of winners before Richie came along including 2 Grand Nationals 5 King George's and 4 at Haydock I could go on........
There's sites for that kind of behaviour, honest kind of grinder material discussed here@@Martin.Lewis..
