Walsh faces month on the sidelines

Jockey Ruby Walsh is set to be out of action for up to a month after X-rays showed he has aggravated the injury he received at Cheltenham nearly four weeks ago.

Walsh was hurt when the Frances Crowley-trained Riverboatman fell at the second-last in the ‘Ashkalani’ at Coolamurry Stud Carey’s Cottage Cup Handicap at Gowran Park on Thursday.
