With 59 victories to his name, Walsh knows more than most what it takes to win a race at the Cotswolds
Ruby Walsh has named eight of his best bets for next week's Cheltenham Festival as racing fever takes hold of the country.
And the retired jockey believes that Gordon Elliott's star mare Brighterdaysahead could serve it up to Constitution Hill in this year's edition. “I think Jonbon is rock solid—I don’t necessarily buy the Cheltenham theory either. I actually think Jonbon’s worst performances were over fences. He was 16-1 on at Warwick when he beat Calico.
Walsh feels similarly about Teahupoo in his bid to win a second successive Paddy Power Stayers' Hurdle.
