Pat Keane had 5/7 on the card in Killarney on Monday night... 4/7 on the Tuesday. Great bit of stuff he is!

Yea he's a decent tipster ok. He's usually fairly bang on when he has a local trainers horse napped too.

Did anyone else see the ride Ruby Walsh gave Paramount last time out? Absolutely shocking. How he wasn't banned under the non-trier rule is beyond me. Only went for it in the last 50 yards when the bird had flown.

there was a similar thread about a different horse on the betfair forum a few days ago (the thread was pulled). The bottom line is that ruby walsh is probably the most recognisable jockey in Ireland. Ask anyone on the street to name one jockey and 9/10 will say Ruby. As a result Irish 'stewards' (i.e. they are there for show and not to actually practise stewardship) are afraid to call him in/ban him/fine him as it would bring negative press to the game and possibly scare off potential mugs. There is a list of horses that ruby has ridden as long as your arm that any claimer or lesser name would have been skinned alive for but as it was the media's darling he got away scott free (ballytrim's debut over fences being the one that mostly vividly sticks in my mind).

This is not just the case with Ruiby Walsh, certain other trainers etc are untouchable by the authorities. Its a joke but util the 'men' running irish racing grow some male genetilia (and I'm not holding my breath) nothing will change. Its one of the reasons why i think the whole Fallon debacle is such a joke. It may well emerge that there is evidence to suggest Fallon should be hung but I'll say one thing there are plenty that should be strung up before him

I agree totally. I liken it to the situation with David Beckham before the 98 World Cup. In the previous two seasons he got away with all kinds of foul play and petulance, just because he was England's golden boy. But he got what he deserved when he kicked Simeone.

Even on Wednesday night (I think), he rode a horse for Willie Mullins who, viewers said, he had tenderly ridden and didn't put into the race. They went through the race and saw the horse had clattered the first fence, so Walsh didn't give him a hard race after that. If that's the case, he should've pulled him up straight away, otherwise its cruelty to animals.

You never accuse Fallon or McCoy for tenderly riding a horse. They give them the beans (if required).

Colonel Sanders

i remember him riding a horse of noel glynn's called serve ime in his first handicap last year. here's a horse who had made the running each time he'd run over hurdles and what does ruby do? bury him in the pack and never put him into the race. It stunk to high heaven and alarm bells were flashing in everyone's heads, except the stewards.

Its ridiculous, if some 10lb claimer is caught doing that he'd be hung out to dry, no questions asked. Its a complete joke.

Again just want to reiterate its not just ruby. Look at any maiden hurdle where a decent bumper horse runs or any beginners chase where a decent hurdler runs. They'll be allowed head off in the sunset on their own while a slow bicycle race pursues behind. Jockeys chatting among themselves, if you stopped them and offered em a cuppa they'd probably take it but very few are ever hauled up over it. How many times have horses landed huge gambles after suspicious runs last time out with a single question being asked?

Keepatem in the Paddy power chase in 2004 after not trying at all at gowran (i think) the time before. Ted walsh even stated on television that connections were obviously happy with his mark going into his prep run and were prepared to leave it at that.

On the leopardstown card the very next day emotional moment landed a decent punt by half the track after he couldn't finish in front of florida coast in a hurdle race at navan the time before.

I could go on but the list is endless. You can never eliminate cheating alotgether but its the fact that such blatant cheating goes unpunished every day of the week in Ireland that gets up my nose.
