Last 10 Cheltenham Festival Top Jockeys

2012 Barry Geraghty (5)
2011 Ruby Walsh (5)
2010 Ruby Walsh (3)
2009 Ruby Walsh (7)
2008 Ruby Walsh (3)
2007 Robert Thornton (4)
2006 Ruby Walsh (3)
2005 Graham Lee (3)
2004 Ruby Walsh (3)
2003 Barry Geraghty (5)

Geraghty's win put an end to the Ruby Walsh run. With Henderson, Nicholls and Willie Mullins dominating top national hunt races, it's hard to see the winner not coming from Walsh or Geraghty again in 2013.




However, note that just three winners has been enough to take the title in 5 of the last 10 years. And this year AP MCoy looks to have a good book with some well fancied JPMcManus runners.
