Ruby sparkles with a treble

RUBY WALSH turned up the temperature at Ballybeggan Park yesterday with a sparkling treble as the big turn out enjoyed some fine racing in brilliant sunshine.

It was a day to remember too for Asdee permit holder Padraig O’Connor who struck for only his second win to date when Rampart delivered in the Liberator Handicap Hurdle to a huge roar from his enthusiastic North Kerry supporters.

Walsh showed all his genius as he sat still on 6/4 favourite Red Square Lady in the two and half mile Caherconlish Mares Maiden Hurdle as Burrenstone Mitch and the well supported Zarenas Treasure scrapped it out in front.
