Walsh goes flat out for double

RUBY WALSH was the toast of punters at Ballinrobe last night when completing a double on favourites Piercing Sun and Askthejudge.

Walsh recorded only the second flat success of his professional career when guiding the strongly supported favourite Piercing Sun to victory in the two mile McHale Engineering Maiden.

Walsh sent his mount into the lead turning into the short straight and he held the late challenge of Nearly A Moose by a neck.
