Well done, sis

DOUBLE festival winner Katie Walsh revealed yesterday that she has no intention of turning professional despite her superb run of success at the Cheltenham Festival this week.

The 25-year-old rode her first ever festival winner on St Patrick’s Day, claiming the National Hunt Challenge Cup — a race for amateur jockeys only — which is precisely what she will remain.

Asked if beating professional riders in yesterday’s Vincent O’Brien County Handicap Hurdle, on Thousand Stars, was an even greater feather in her cap, the 25-year old was quick to say that she treasures both equally.
