Grand National Jockeys
RUBY WALSH
Son of Ted Walsh(Irish champion amateur jockey himself) Ruby turned pro after winning back to back champion amateur titles and at the age of just 20yrs. Outside of Ireland few people had heard of Ruby Walsh. His first ride in the GRAND NATIONAL was for his father TED on board a very well bet horse called PAPILLON it won the 2000 grand national and the rest as the saying goes is history. All of the national hunt scene sat up and took notice of this fresh faced kid from Co. KILDARE. In the last 10yrs Ruby Walsh has won everything going with honours and plaudits coming from every angle. As he is based both in Ireland and England riding for both current champion trainers the champion jockey title is impossible to win because of these commitments but i don’t think that bothers this cool calculated jockey. TOP CLASS JOCKEY IN EVERY WAY. And has no peers according to most.
