ATR reporting that Pat Smullen has passed away
Terribly sad news
Rest in peace Pat
A superb jockey
Life can be cruel

Such terrible news. He was only 43 years old.
Jonjo O’Neill posted he was a great jockey and an even better man. Hear hear to that.
RIP Mr Smullen.
Sadly, confirmed by the RP. Pancreatic cancer is very tough to overcome. I hope he had some quality time with his family.
May he rest in peace!

Pancreatic cancer is the worst because by the time it’s diagnosed it’s generally too late to be saved.
A racing buddy of mine died from this at just 59. He was a very fit bloke and ran marathons and had climbed Everest. He had a very good job and lovely family and home and everything to live for. RIP Malcolm
RIP Pat Smullen
So sorry to hear this; I met him a few times and he was a real gentleman. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam
Awful, awful news.
Condolences to his family and all that knew him.
May you rest in peace Pat Smullen.
He put up a very brave fight.
Thoughts are with his family and friends on this saddest of days.
RIP Pat Smullen ⚘Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...I find it impossible (genuinely) to watch any flat race finish at Galway without Des’s voice in my head exclaiming “And it’s another one for Dermot Weld and Pat Smullen!”.
RIP.
