Champion jockey Ruby Walsh talks about his favourite memories of Leopardstown at Christmas in the latest of a series of video clips 'Tales Of Christmas Past' produced by the racecourse in advance of their annual Festival.

Racing at Leopardstown takes place on the four day after Christmas Day and includes seven Grade 1 contests and €1.3 million in prizemoney.

Rince Ri was trained by Ruby's father Ted Walsh and won 12 races and almost €500,000 in prizemoney. He won back-to-back runnings of the Lexus Chase ( formerly known as Ericsson Chase) in 1999 and 2000 at the Christmas Festival.
