What a ride from Ruby Walsh on Killultagh Vic. The Irish jockey was coasting to victory in the Coral.ie Novice Chase at Leopardstown today with just one fence left. But the horse didn't take the fence well, and Walsh did an incredible job just to stay aboard. as the horse fell to its knees.
After the fall, Killultagh Vic found itself in third in the race and it looked like it's race was run. Not on Ruby's watch:
