Ruby Walsh has announced he has retired from racing.
The 39-year-old from Co Kildare made the announcement today after he won the Punchestown Gold Cup riding Kemboy.
It was another one-two finish for trainer Willie Mullins, with Al Boum Photo finishing second in an enthralling sprint finish.
"I'm finished," Ruby declared in a post-race interview.
