Walsh records treble at Wexford

Tue 17th Mar 2009, 17:04

Ruby Walsh was seen to good effect again when giving Holly Tree a strong drive to get up in the closing stages and win The Michael O'Murchadha Memorial Chase, the first chase at Wexford since 2006.

Winning trainer Dusty Sheehy was full of praise of his jockey Ruby Walsh saying, "That's why he is, what he is."

Sheey also added, "We have no real plans for the horse, he has been on the go a good while now and could do with being freshened up."

Holly Tree was making it a treble on the day for Walsh who's earlier winners came aboard Tawaag winning the opener and Fiveforthree winning Richard Browne & Sons Hurdle.
