Ted Walsh brought the curtain down a long association with RTE Racing when he announced his retirement from the cameras at this year's Punchestown Festival.
After forty years of working with the channel, the trainer and former jockey made the shock announcement on Saturday during the live coverage at the Kildare venue.
He said: "I got a great chance from RTE and I want to thank them very much for giving me the opportunity to comment on a sport that I love, filled of people that I admire, a lot of them are my friends.
