'It's all changed now, they're going to the gym these days instead of the pub'

It seems a grave injustice that the seventh most successful jump jockey of all time, with 1,589 winners woven into the fabric of a fabulous era for the sport, is remembered most for a race he didn't even win.

"That's just the way the world works, isn't it?," says Paul Carberry, the two-time Irish champion jump jockey. "If we had won that day it would have gone down as the greatest ride of all time. The best ever. It just didn't happen. That's racing."

For any confused snowflakes out there we are, of course, talking about Harchibald in the 2005 Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham and a piece of jockeyship that still polarises opinion. Almost 17 years on and Carberry is back in the dock giving evidence.
