Yes, because Ruby wouldn’t be riding McManus-owned, O’Neill-trained, 80-rated steering jobs.
Welcome to TRF, Bob. For information, the whole Walsh versus McCoy theme is a pretty recurrent one on this forum.
It might be more worth your while to have a peek at this thread, only started exactly a week ago,

…and develop / respond to some of the arguments on there rather than start another one afresh. I suspect the
Search Forum
facility might unearth one or two more for you on this theme as well.
Hope this helps, and happy hunting.

AP would still be champion jockey because he has better contacts and get’s more ‘plum’ rides on wet Wednesday’s at Folkestone.
Ruby Walsh is the far superior jockey however.

Care to explain in not less than 100 words how and why you’ve arrived at this conclusion?
Just his record in the big races. Ruby delivers when it matters, 2 Grand Nationals, Gold Cups, countless Grade 1 races, and look at his record at the Cheltenham Festival. Obviously it helps when you have the better horses, but I think on the big occasion, Ruby is the man for the job.
I think JJM is right Walsh is a far better jockey than McCoy. McCoy would still be Champion jockey though the guy would ride 24 hours a day if he could and that sort of dedication together with his ability ensures that sort of success. Class would come first with Walsh.
