    Fully agree with you, Clive.

    No one has treated such a unique horse with more disrespect than the O’Learys.

    The reasons for the fallout with Mullins could have been quite a few. Maybe the Riccis were too powerful at that time, maybe they could accept Ruby’s opinions, who knows?

    The fav in the banks race today did do a cartwheel poor bugger. Tiger Roll has never raced over the Punchestown banks and now is not the time to start. Think he’s getting his bucket and spade for summer holidays, good decision.

    Hopefully he can go out with a bang today. Looks a tougher race than last year, but I hope he can do it.

    The sideshow has obviously been a bit of a distraction, but that aside, he’s been some horse.

    Well, with Tiger Roll is only a length behind 160-rated Delta Work (horse on X-Country debut), his handicap rating of 161 seems to be reasonably valid, Mr O’Leary.

    Well done to Steve Mellish on RTV, strongly criticising O’Leary for his remarks about the handicapper over the years. When in fact, as QF says, the handicapper’s assessment of Tiger Roll was absolutely spot on.

    I bet O’Leary does not admit to this.

    Fond farewell to a magnificent racehorse. His achievements in National Hunt racing will go down in history. Almost, but not quite, the perfect fairytale ending today (boo, hiss Jack Kennedy!)

    Happy retirement Tiger Roll.

    Happy long retirement Tiger, what a way to sign off. Run your absolute heart out. I’m going to miss you and shouting Tiger at the TV like I have done for many years now.
    Truly special they wil never be another like you. I hope they keep us up to date on how you are getting on in your retirement joining Don cossack in the field
