World domination for Quevega

RUBY WALSH pulled rank on his baby sister, Katie, at Punchestown last night when brilliant mare Quevega beat Mourad in the Grade 1 ladbrokes.com World Series Hurdle.

“I knew she’d (Katie) be coming”, said Walsh, with a glint in his eye, after Quevega had survived a near-disastrous blunder at the final flight.

Davy Russell kicked hard on Carlito Brigante off the final bend, but Quevega was cruising in behind and it was only a question of when Walsh said go.
