Treble and crashing fall for Walsh

RUBY WALSH continued in sparkling form when recording a fine treble at Galway yesterday, but stood himself down after a crashing fall and is likely to miss the rest of the week’s domestic action.

Walsh was seen at his best when scoring on Sorry Al, Pedro Bob and Mountain Snow which became his 51st winner of the season in Ireland when landing the Cunningham Higgins Specialist Cars Handicap Hurdle.

Clearly shaken following a third flight fall from Valshan in an earlier handicap hurdle, Walsh struggled to return to the weigh room after Mountain Snow’s win and, admitting to being “stiff and sore”, gave up the ride on The Culdee in the later handicap chase.
