Big Buck’s? Bombproof this weekend?
Ruby Walsh: I hope he is. No such thing as a certainty, but he is as close as it gets. Still showing all the old sparkle.
@neiljones231
How is Tidal Bay for tomorrow? Is he a tricky ride?
RW: He is not straightforward but I love the challenge. The weight could be an issue.
@Chrisrich25
What’s the best novice hurdler you ever ridden?
RW: Mikael D'Haguenet. He won from 2m to 2m4f, including 3 Grade 1s. Hopefully he will win tomorrow.
@Greg_Hodgson
If you could ride another horse from any other stable who would it be and why?
RW: Tough one. If Tingle Creek doesn't go my way....Sprinter Sacre.
@Oo_Cormack_oO
Kauto Stone seems to have improved massively this year, u fancy him for any big races?
RW: If he holds his form, you'd have to think he'd have a chance in the King George
@andersCFC
Do you think Big Bucks may ever try fences again or do you feel there is no need to?
RW: I would doubt it. Why would he?
@Davelawlor81
What's the story with Fiveforthree? Will he ever run again? Is he even in training?
RW: Back in training, rode him in work the other day and he seems fine, but fragile.
@braddavies23
Which is your favourite Grand National? Hedgehunter or Papillon?
RW: Hard to split, but Papillon for family reasons. In answer to earlier question, he was the best jumper I have ridden, too.
@bettobeplaced
Great jockey. We talk a lot about your best rides but do you regard your ride on My Will 2006 Ryanair as your worst?
RW: No, I have given horse's worse rides than that at times.
@tyhiggon
Who is the best two miler chaser you have ridden? Azertyuiop maybe? And do you think it's in the same league as Sprinter Sacre.
RW: Azertyuiop or Master Minded, perhaps?
@HawkWing2002
You and Tony McCoy are big sports fans in general. Do you play Fantasy Football? Your team?
RW: I follow Man Utd, but don't have time for Fantasy football. I’m a big rugby fan; Munster and Ireland
@SophiaMonkman
Is there ever a time you think you've had enough and wanted a career change?
RW: Every time I get out the back of an ambulance on a stretcher!
@grandnational09
If you had to choose - you for a 3rd Grand National or Katie for her 1st - which one would you pick?
RW: I'm selfish!
@Oo_Cormack_oO
Is Tony McCoy really as ugly as he appears to be on television?
RW: That kick in the face at Wetherby did him no good!
@JohnBrewinESPN
What is the daftest question you've ever been asked after a race?
RW: Ask Thommo!
@Racingwelfare
Is Dan Skelton (assistant trainer to Paul Nicholls) going to win the Anthony Knott Charity Race at Wincanton on the 6th?
RW: As far as I know he is. He looks a shadow of his former self.
@kinnerker
If there was one race he could go back and ride differently again, what would it be?
RW: Most races I lose. Comanche Court in Gold Cup always springs to mind.
@Smithy_FCB
Can you lend me a grand mate?
RW: Sure, no problem, 12 per cent daily...
