Murphy unconcerned about future riding arrangements for Brave Inca

COLM MURPHY said yesterday he has given “no thought whatsoever” to who will ride champion hurdler Brave Inca in the future.

Tony McCoy has built up a terrific relationship with the nine-year-old, but was unavailable to partner him in the December Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown last time. Ruby Walsh stepped in and Brave Inca proceeded to produce a fine performance to beat the odds-on Iktitaf.

“We will use whoever is available”, said Murphy. “Both Ruby and Tony have other commitments, but I am sure we will be able to get one of them.”
