RUBY WALSH has failed in his appeal to overturn the five-day whip ban incurred on October 22 aboard Edgardo Sol at Aintree.


Quote:
Walsh said: "I'm disappointed, they accepted it was for corrective purposes but not for safety. The whip rules need some common sense, it's going to be a long winter for all of us at this rate, the next time it's ten days and the third time it's three months."
