Quevega brings joy of six for Ruby Walsh

It’s over 20 years since Francis Fukuyama wrote his book about the end of history and there are times when you feel that maybe, just maybe, Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh have reached that point when it comes to Cheltenham.

Then another festival come around and other worlds are conquered.

The first day of this year’s event dawned yesterday with the trainer and jockey teaming up to bring Vautour home first in the opening Supreme Novices’ Hurdle and they doubled up with an historic win for Quevega in the Mares Hurdle.
