Cheltenham Festival 2011 Guide - Jockeys Ruby WalshNominating Ruby Walsh as a jockey to follow at the Cheltenham Festival could be viewed as patronising. He is the leading jockey throughout the 100-year history of the illustrious meeting with 27 winners and, in 2009, broke the record for the most winners during a single Festival with seven big-race successes. He has been crowned top jockey at the meeting five times since 2004, including on the last three occasions. Despite being out of action since November, due to a broken leg sustained at Down Royal, Bet365 and Boylesports rate him as a 5-4 chance to win the award again. He may not have much match practice behind him going into the Festival, but it is hard to look past him. Nobody rides the course better than him and his potential book of rides, which includes Big Buck's, Master Minded, Kauto Star, Quevega, and possibly Hurricane Fly, looks classy.Barry GeraghtyWith 19 Festival winners, Barry Geraghty has some live contenders at this year's meeting who could add to his impressive tally. After partnering Big Zeb to his Queen Mother Champion Chase victory last season, Geraghty will again be on board as his mount goes...more
