  • Sam Thomas 7Dec2008 November 2007, Ruby Walsh Dislocates His
    Sam Thomas 7-Dec-2008 November 2007, Ruby Walsh dislocates his shoulder in a fall at Cheltenham, and Sam Thomas is thrust centre stage. It is a big ask for a youngster to take on the responsibility of partnering all the top Paul Nicholls horses in the top races, under the public and media telescope that comes as part of the deal, but it is a phenomenal opportunity as well. Thomas grasps it and puts up a Tony-winning performance. The young Welshman may or may not have been fully ready last year, he may have been a little dazzled by the foot lights, but he got the results, he got Kauto Star home by a half a length from Exotic Dancer in the Betfair Chase. It wasn't the best performance of Kauto's life, it was the closest that Exotic Dancer had ever got to him in four attempts, but he won, and winning is what counts. Buoyed by success, Thomas went out the very next day and gave Mr Pointment a horseman's ride over the Grand National fences at Aintree to land the Becher Chase. The following week he rode the monster Denman with balls of steel in the Hennessy, allowing him stride on under his welter burden from early in the back straight, aggressive as you like, gradually turning the vice grip and squeezing every last pip of energy out of his rivals. And just to put the hat on it, he delivered Twist Magic's potent turn of foot with impeccable timing the following week to land the Tingle Creek Chase.
