    That rumour was well out before Cheltenham though.

    If the above tweet is true is obviously about Foxrock and Ted. Anyone who thinks Ruby Walsh would go on TLL and discuss marital difficulties is in Cuckooland!

    Someone as open as Ruby surely would :pac:

    Saw a post somewhere saying Ted has the same farrier as Punchestown <snip>

    Correct..

    Its pretty obvious at this stage that its just a big PR stunt for a charity gig/ book launch etc. Anyone that thinks Ted or ruby are going to go on and reveal anything private need their head examined.

    If it is ted admitting to shoegate or handing over to someone ....

    How big a story is it? From a non racing guru?

    From Kevin Blakes blog on at the races website this week....

    Ted Walsh has become the star of mainstream Irish racing coverage in no small part due to his complete lack of hesitation in speaking his mind and with his dislike of the Turf Club being well known, one suspects that he won’t take any insinuations of wrongdoing lying down and is likely to meet them head on in full voice.

    Not that inconceivable given that Ted doesn't live a million miles from Punchestown. I'm sure there are lots of other trainers who use the same farrier.

    Tonight's guests on the Late Late?? Calum Best, Alan Rickman, Louis Walsh and Sex and the City star Kim Cattral. Massive equine story about to break? I think it's fairly obvious where this is going...... Good old horse face herself is coming out!!!

    That must be it, no sign of Joseph at all and hadn't heard of him being injured or anything. The weight was going to get him eventually. Maybe training of the NH string is what he'll be doing...

    Joseph switching to hurdles or Ryan Moore getting the Coolmore jobs are big stories in the racing world but not in the greater scheme of things and wouldn't be on the Late Late.

    Irish field Twitter saying the late late announcement is a today fm PR stunt.

    Ryan Moore returning from Dubai to ride a few at the curragh for Aidan with Joseph having no booked rides.

    *none booked for the curragh that is.

    Moore booked for the Fillies Group 3 at the Curragh on Sunday, you'd imagine Joseph would be able to do that weight so a permanent switch to hurdles looks likely.

    Joseph O'Brien on riding at Limerick on Sunday: ''I'm just a little heavy at the minute but I'll be back riding on the Flat very soon.''

    If that's the case that is simply not good enough.

    2 of the flat horses he would have been on are 9st5 so he must be a bit heavier than last year. Pity for him that he has these weight issues because he'd get a far greater thrill riding on the flat than on the jumps for his father, unless he eventually gets the type of horses Willie Mullins has.
