Ruby’s book to hit shelves in October
It will be published in hardback by Orion on October 21st priced £18.99 (€20 approx).
The Irish Examiner columnist has ridden over 1,600 winners and the Irish jump jockey’s title on eight occasions.
He rides for two powerful stables: Willie Mullins and Paul Nicholls in Britain, for whom he has won the Cheltenham Gold Cup twice on Kauto Star. In 2009 he was leading jockey at the Cheltenham Festival when he rode a record-breaking seven winners over the four days. His 2010 win on Sanctuaire made him the Festival’s most successful jockey, beating Pat Taffe’s record of 25 wins. In 2009 he won the Queen Mother Champion Chase on Master Minded, the Hennessy Gold Cup on Denman, and at Kempton he re-wrote the record books again when Kauto Star became the first horse in history to win the King George VI Stakes for the fourth year in a row. And in 2010 he cruised to victory in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle on Big Buck’s.
His searingly honest and compelling autobiography charts the incredible success story of an immensely talented and popular force in the world of sport. Ruby Walsh says: “I’m delighted to be working with Orion for my autobiography and I hope it will be an enjoyable read for those who buy it.”
