Joined by the great Ruby Walsh, who rode so many of his superstar horses, Rich takes us through his greatest memories of Cheltenham, the stories behind some of his most famous wins and those agonising near misses.

In true Paddy style, everything’s covered from mullets, to the racing origins of the ‘maddest f***er on the planet’ and how his wife’s handbag helped decide on the colours of his silks.
Grabbing a chat with Rich is about as tricky as getting your hands on hens’ teeth so set aside an hour and get stuck into our fascinating chat in full through the tweet above or on Paddy’s Racing channel.
