Walsh to return in early March

Ruby Walsh should be back in action within the next fortnight as he continues to recover from a double leg fracture suffered in a fall at Down Royal on November 6.

The eight times Irish champion jump jockey took another positive step in his rehabilitation when a frame was removed from his leg on Thursday, and he is hoping to be back riding out this weekend.

“The leg is really good and I can't wait to get back in action,” Walsh told Racing UK, and added; “I'll start race-riding again around the 3rd or 4th of March.”
