Ruby Walsh injured at Cheltenham

Thursday, 15 March 2018 07:00

Ruby Walsh is set to miss the rest of Cheltenham Festival with a suspected broken leg.

The 38-year-old Irishman was hurt when Al Boum Photo fell on the second to last fence in the RSA Chase. The Festival's all-time leading rider had only returned from breaking his leg six days previous.

He had come back from nearly four months out on Thursday and had two winners at Cheltenham on Tuesday.

Walsh's double on Tuesday took him to 58 career Cheltenham Festival victories. He has been the leading jockey at the showpiece meeting 11 times.
