Colourful Paul Carberry was a master of the waiting game

To say Paul Carberry has had a colourful career is a massive understatement.

Supremely talented, he won just about every jump race worth winning in Ireland plus a host in the UK, including 14 at the Cheltenham Festival and the Grand National.

He celebrated winning the world’s greatest steeplechase on Bobbyjo for his father Tommy in 1999 in his own inimitable style by swinging off a beam to dismount in the old winner’s enclosure.
