Ruby is retiring, and although A.P. McCoy was the champion jockey 20 times, Ruby was (for me) the best.
He was a good, sensitive rider, sat "quiet" and knew when to push, when to pull, and how to keep enough in the tank!
The way Kauto Star raced under Ruby, compared to the times when A.P rode him (when Ruby was off with injuries) spoke volumes.
No doubt there will be posts from those who are anti racing, but for me Ruby was a gentleman among jockeys and I will miss seeing his quiet, sensitive riding.
