Ruby drives Regardless to victory

Drive On Regardless, a horse who landed two bumpers earlier in his career but had lost his way somewhat subsequently, got back on the winning trail in the opening maiden hurdle at Tipperary last night.

Trained by Willie Mullins and ridden by Ruby Walsh, he carried the colours of John ‘Joker’ O’Donoghue and Sean Ahern, who are both from Knockraha, Co Cork.

Somethingdifferent looked sure to score when cruising ahead coming away from the third last, but heading to the final flight it was apparent that Walsh was getting a real tune from the winner.
