Ruby Walsh

But, you know, fair play to me.

Ruby Walsh has just started his racing post column, as we touched upon last week.

And like I said, fair play to me.

He did touch upon it.

Yeah, no, and it was really sad.

And the one thing about Ruby, it is always a community and they'll all, I suppose, get around and support his family.

But look, I didn't want to start on a sour note, but obviously that was terribly sad news.

We will go back to the action and we will start with our own home province, Michael.

So I watched Kloster against the champions Bordeaux on Friday night.

36-all, absolute thriller.

So it's incredible, Ruby.

And Gloucester are a team I spoke of.

His record speaks for himself.

How calm, collected, chilled out he is on the big day to have filled Ruby Walsh's boots and exceeded what Ruby had done during his time with Willie Mullins.

Nobody should do that or nobody can do that and he's doing it.

You know, Ruby was the king of the game during his era and Paul is exceeding what Ruby had done.

So I think his first TV interview will be with us on, on Saturday.

Um, and Ruby Walsh and Jason Weaver will be alongside me on the, on the panel.

But as you say, live studio audience, and we're asking for questions from not only the audience there, but viewers at home to pose to Simon Cox.

So do get in touch on social media with the hashtag #ITBRacing.

Uh, last Friday that got, uh, that got abandoned.

Uh, Ruby Walsh joins the Racing Post.

Um, and they put out a tweet and that got a brutal hello from, uh, those kind souls on Twitter.

We, I think we've got a question on the Racing... couple of questions on Racing Post and Ruby a bit later, so we'll deal with that there.

[laughs]

[laughs]

Uh, two questions on, uh, the appointment of Ruby Walsh.

I'm sure everyone's seen during the week for...

It looks like he's been planning this all year, um, and the cards have fallen right for him today as well.

Welcome along, third podcast from the horse's mouth this week after we've been to Newmarket, York, and Chepstow on Friday with Matt Chapman, Dundalk on Friday with Fran Berry, and on to the weekend, the, the Saturday of brilliant racing on ITV from Newmarket and York in particular with Rory Zargi and Ruby Walsh.

Rory Zargi, now that I know your mic is definitely working, how are you?

I'm very well, thanks.

8 to 1, Boiling Point.

High Stock, 20s.

Ruby Walsh, you can go first.

Uh, thanks, PK.

It's one of the sharpest minds in racing, one of the most insightful and forthright commenters in the game.

It's none other than Ruby Walsh.

[dramatic music] Hi, I'm Ruby Walsh, and as of Friday the 9th of October, I will be joining the Racing Post team.

You're not getting another tipster.

The Racing Post has more than enough people who are capable of pointing you in the right direction.

Hopefully we can make or try and make racing a little bit better than it is.

[dramatic music] Yes, Ruby Walsh joins the Racing Post.

You can read down in the description exactly what to expect from Ruby Walsh with his regular column on a Friday online and Saturday in the paper.
