THE late Offaly jockey Pat Smullen was honoured over the weekend at the Curragh racecourse when a special room was opened in his honour.
Legend Pat Smullen was a Champion Jockey on no fewer than nine occasions and rode almost 2,000 winners worldwide.
He was stable jockey to Dermot Weld for 20 years and the Curragh was his second home. Even after all his success at the Curragh as a jockey, it was out of the saddle that he had perhaps his finest day when he was the driving force behind the Pat Smullen Champions Race For Cancer Trials Ireland on Longines Irish Champions Weekend 2019, which raised €2.5 million for Cancer Trials Ireland for their work into pancreatic cancer trials and research.
Fahey says Ribchester the highlight among 3,000 British winners

Watch a full replay of how Hong Kong Harry provided Richard Fahey with his 3,000th British winner at Ayr on Tuesday plus reaction from winning-rider Paul Hanagan.
Richard Fahey claimed his 3,000th British winner when Hong Kong Harry scored at Ayr on Tuesday evening.
Based in Malton, North Yorkshire, Fahey has long had a prolific strike rate from his Musley Bank yard.
He has trained more than 150 winners for the past six seasons and in 2015 equalled the record for most winners in a calendar year when saddling 235 – a figure subsequently broken by Mark Johnston in 2019.
Hollie Doyle enjoyed incredible success in 2020
No rider made more headlines or achieved more âfirstsâ in 2020 than Hollie Doyle, who picked up three prestigious Lester awards after enjoying a first Group race win, a first Group 1 win, and a first prestigious retainer, not to mention taking third place at the BBCâs Sports Personality of the Year awards ceremony and riding a five-timer at Windsor.
Doyleâs recent rise through the ranks has been nothing short of phenomenal and she is unrecognisable now from the rider who took five years to shed her apprentice claim. As physically strong arguably as any Flat jockey of either sex, and just as effective these days on turf as on the all-weather, she could well be crowned racingâs first woman champion on October 16. If sheâs not, it wonât be for the want of trying.
); With all the doom and gloom, it lifted the whole of West Kerry. He is one of us and a Gold Cup winner

ON SATURDAY 20 March, Jack Kennedy was back in action at Thurles racecourse.
It was less than 24 hours since the biggest win of his career, a landmark moment in becoming the youngest jockey in modern times to claim the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
In racing, it is one of the quirks of the trade to operate under the intense glare of the sporting spotlight and then resume riding in an off-Broadway setting the following day.
