Conor Stone-Walsh describes his first Cheltenham win: 'It was silent for a few seconds and then the noise hits you'

Conor Stone-Walsh has been a name on the minds of owners, trainers and racegoers for the last couple of years. A talent on the Flat before switching codes, he has worked through partnerships with various trainers such as Ian Donoghue and Gavin Cromwell. He had his day in the sun at the Cheltenham Festival when riding his first winner at the meeting in the Cross Country Chase aboard Final Orders, the 7/1 shot.
