JP McManus’s No 1 jockey Mark Walsh to team up with Sa Majeste in Coral Cup
‘Old School’ Mark Walsh flying under the radar ahead of Fact To File taskSince that boss gave a million euro to each of Ireland’s 32 counties just before Christmas and has long since been counting his wealth in billions, presumably Walsh isn’t losing out financially on not blowing smoke to some bookie.Festival, any kind of smoke signal from the McManus camp is probably worth quite a bit by most everyone else’s standards.

As for any aversion to publicity, O’Leary adds: “That suits the job more than likely! But he’s a quietly spoken fellah who does a very good job and is a very good rider.”
