Ruby drives Oodachee home

CHARLIE SWAN'S Oodachee got a classic Ruby Walsh drive to win the Seamus Weldon Beginners 'Chase at Killarney last night.

The Marju gelding has plenty talent, but isn't always disposed to using it to best effect and previously at Fairyhouse over hurdles simply refused to go through with his effort for David Casey.

Walsh rode him with lots of patience and though Oodachee was clearly going better than both Mac Three and The Fingersmith heading to the last, he sat as quiet as a mouse.
