Ruby Walsh: Ryan Moore should keep it simple with St Mark’s Basilica

The All-Ireland football final will capture most of the headlines but it is Aidan versus Jim versus Dermot, Ryan versus Kevin versus Colin, and St Mark’s Basilica versus Poetic Flare versus Tarnawa that excites me more

Mayo versus Tyrone, in the All-Ireland football final, will undoubtedly capture most of the headlines and news stories this weekend.

It will also take up many conversations this morning, but it is Aidan versus Jim versus Dermot, Ryan versus Kevin versus Colin, and St Mark’s Basilica versus Poetic Flare versus Tarnawa that excites me more.
