Ruby gets a tune out of another grey mare

Thu 13th Oct 2011, 15:43

Ruby Walsh got a good tune out of the grey mare Burnt Oil Babe here yesterday and the Kildare man used his sublime talents to good effect again on another lighter coloured variety of the fairer sex as he brought Carutomark home the victor of the Paul Carberry Autobiography Best Seller Handicap Hurdle at Punchestown.

Walsh produced the grey daughter of Distant Music from before the last and he wasn't taking no for an answer on the run-in as he drove the seven-year-old out for a two and a half length success over Clarkey

Paul Magnier trains Carutomark for Stablegate Racing Club.com and he said: "That's the second horse Ruby has ridden for me and they've both won (the other being Duers .

"She's a bit of a lady but she's been in such good form lately that she deserved the champion rider. She might now go for a three mile chase at Thurles next week.

"She's a law unto herself. A few times at Bellewstown she stopped when she hit the front."

My Racing Story. Eoin Staples

I'm from a little village in Wexford called Duncormick. My dad didn't ride horses, but he had a keen interest in pedigrees and watches a lot of racing. I probably started riding horses through my brother Sean who started before me. I saw Sean riding horses and enjoying it, and then he went on riding racehorses. I started riding and I broke into racehorses then with a local trainer down the road called John Walsh. Sean went away down to another trainer Michael Murphy. I was at my local riding lesson school and John Walsh came over to me and asked me if I wanted to come down on a Saturday. I went down and I loved it, so I went back and I went racing most Sundays when I was 11 or 12. The first day I went in there I was probably about 10 and I rode a horse that day. Her name was Mandy Carroll and she actually won a couple of point-to-points and a hunters chase on the track at Cork as well.
