Imperious Ruby wins Lexus on Bay

You simply run out of superlatives when it comes to the riding of Ruby Walsh.

At Leopardstown yesterday he gave Tidal Bay the most extraordinary of drives to land a thrilling Lexus Chase.

One of the more kind words to describe Tidal Bay in the past was ’enigmatic’, but he has greatly benefited from being moved to the Paul Nicholls yard and having, arguably, the greatest National Hunt jockey of all time in the plate.
