Memorable rides from a master in the saddle

With the news of Paul Carberry's retirement, we look back on six memorable rides delivered by one of the most gifted jockeys of his generation.

Bobbyjo - 1999 Grand National

It was not quintessential Carberry (for that in the National, see King Johns Castle in 2008!), but Bobbyjo was the first major triumph of the then 25-year-old rider's career and probably the biggest of all. This was a ride of calmness under fire, rather than balls of brass. Bobbyjo clouted the second Canal Turn and Carberry's focus clearly switched to survival from Valentine's down to the Melling Road as he guided his mount over every fence. As the others jostled for position approaching the last, a drastic switch outside on to the most direct racing line was the flourish that sealed a famous success.
