Ruby Walsh out of the National!

[Janah]

Ruby Walsh out of the national after a fall on the race 2 before national, looked really nasty. Horse fell on him, he did walk away but was stopped from riding after medical check.

They've just said his hat was cracked all the way along! Ouch!!

I'm so glad to see both up on their feet. It was a horrific fall!

 

[Rowreach]

Don't know how he walked away from that one

 

[Marydoll]

Glad both seem fine at the moment, hopefully both will recover well

Small price to pay for his life.

That fall could so easily have been fatal for both. Worst fall I have seen for years, and I watch a lot of racing. Lucky lucky man and horse.
