    I have a sneaking suspicion Ruby Walsh will retire next week. His wife and children seem to be at all the big days lately, that may have always been the case but there seems to be a lot more made of it of late. The way he celebrated Min’s win at Aintree seemed to me like it was a signing off one last time.

    I could be reading way too much into it but I have a feeling he’ll go.

    Yeah these last few weeks he's been acting like an old lad who's survived a health scare. Was very noticeable at Aintree and even after the Champion Hurdle I noticed he was joking with Mark Walsh in the pull up and he'd usually have a face like a slapped arse. It might just be after missing all last season that he's making the most of it.

    I hope he doesn't retire, I'll miss him. Mustard in the saddle and articulate out of it. Could go on for another 3/4 years.

    He definitely is very articulate and i'm sure he will be a regular on RTE Racing when he retires.

    Jays I couldn't see him retiring lads
    Maybe he will start to take the no.2 rides and let PT have the choice, but no reason in the world for him to retire
    Fehily won a CH older than Ruby is now

    I think the celebrations post Min were as much to do with a talking horse FINALLY showing how brilliant he could be, and Ruby would have been happy for RR/SR also
    I always got the feeling Ruby in the Pink and Green had an air of superiority, and that had been hammered of late.

    Jane has one of the best racing brains I have ever heard. She’s only a young one too, another few years and she’ll be even more impressive.

    Wow....just f...ing wow.

    Why would she bother doing that. There is something dodgy every day of the week.

    Had that feeling about Ruby too, his face is near cracking point, he started smiling at Cheltenham and is still at it, feels like a PR exercise, I am one of the greatest ever and I am very happy all the time!!

    A lot of focus on the family too lately.

    What about himself, Mick Fitzgerald, and Mccoy on ITV? It would be insufferable as well :pac:
