Ruby worries about impact on his children of Twitter abuse

Jockey Ruby Walsh has said that online abuse he received during last week’s Cheltenham festival had an unsettling effect on him as he is worried about its potential impact on his children.

Walsh, a columnist for the Irish Examiner, was targeted by social media users after the jockey said that horses are replaceable unlike people, in the wake of Our Conor being put down following a fall at the Festival last week.
