Walsh suffers fall at Naas
Ruby Walsh was back in the wars just days before the Cheltenham Festival when suffering a nasty final-flight fall at Naas today.
The Irish jockey was covering a side of his face as he walked to the ambulance following the tumble from King Of The Refs in the Tote Jackpot Maiden Hurdle.
He only returned to action last Friday after being sidelined for four months with a broken leg.
The latest scare comes close to Cheltenham where Walsh has a powerful book of rides mainly for Irish trainer Willie Mullins and Ditcheat handler Paul Nicholls.
They include Master Minded in the sportingbet.com Queen Mother Champion Chase, Big Buck’s in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle and Kauto Star in the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup.
