Ruby is dazzling his way through Cheltenham

Pride of Co Kildare Ruby Walsh who rode his 50th winner at the Cheltenham Festival yesterday is set for more success today.

The half a century wins is a figure no other jockey has ever reached, which shows the talent of the Kill native.

Nowadays his winners are almost exclusively rode for Willie Mullins - another genius of the sport.

But before all that Walsh gave English trainer Paul Nicholls a number of brilliant days at Prestbury Park.

Greats such as Big Buck's, Kauto Star and Denman delivered the goods time and time again in the Cotswolds.

And now the likes of Douvan, Vautour and Faugheen, who missed this year's festival, are doing the same.

It was a brilliant day all around for Irish racing at Prestbury Park on St Patrick's Day as Ireland overtook Britain in the Betbright Cup and now lead 11 to 10.

Heading into the final day of the festival, it's still all to play for.

Young jockey Jack Kennedy rode a cracking race in the Brown Advisory and Merriebelle Stable Plate in which he finished second. The 16-year-old from Kerry undoubtedly has a huge career in the saddle ahead of him.

Irish punters couldn't have asked for better results on day three, which saw them clean out the bookies.

While there's still another day to go and racegoers will be really confident of backing more winners after yesterday's brilliant results.
