Walsh stood down for day

Published at Aug 30, 2009, 15:30

Ruby Walsh was stood down for the day after taking a fall from Twenty Bags in the opener at Galway.

The James Leavy-trained gelding was one of the sufferers as seven crashed out at the first flight in the juvenile contest.

"He has a hematoma on his leg and is bruised and sore," reported Dr Kevin Mulcahy.

"He has been stood down for the day and will be assessed again in the next few days."
