Ruby Walsh: I carry a fear factor

Ruby Walsh feels his younger weighroom colleagues are too intimidated to slag him off when he has a bad day.

Speaking at yesterday’s Irish Examiner Ronan O’Gara Ruby Walsh Breakfast in Cork, the 35-year-old said only Barry Geraghty and AP McCoy would dare slag him after a particularly bad day on the track.

“I would say most of them are probably a fraction afraid of me in that sense,” Walsh said. “Barry Geraghty might say something, maybe McCoy. But I’d say the rest of them when I’d be in that sort of humour would tend to stay away.”
