Ruby Walsh: Best bets may be short and sweet on Ladies' Day

Ladies’ Day sees the action start a little later in Punchestown, with the first due to go to post at 3.40, but today will be the day the roads, car parks and traffic plans are pushed to the limit.

Day three of the Punchestown festival was always going to find it hard to live up to what day two delivered, but as the day rolled on, the storylines started to develop.

Darragh O'Keeffe looked to have the impossible task of catching Jack Kennedy in the jockeys' championship. Still, when he booted Adrienne home in the second, he started to find momentum, and Busselton quickly gave him a double in the La Touche Cup.
