    Was discussing in the pub on Sunday night, it was as a year since a charity race at the Curragh, so surreal.

    Very sad

    Desperate news. I have heard most people in racing come in for stick at some point in their careers, but never Pat. He will be missed.

    Gutted, thought he was gonna make it when he was on TV last year, looked good and was in great spirits.
    Amazing jockey and a decent bloke by all accounts. May he rest in peace...

    RIP. Terribly sad. He achieved a fair amount in such a short life, brilliant jockey and seemed a brilliant man as well.

    Tragic.

    Just read an interview he did with vincent hogan in the indo. Cant post links unfortunately, maybe someone else can.

    A powerful and poignant read, which puts a lot of things in perspective.

    RIP

    Think ITV racing are showing a tribute to Pat after the first race from Newbury 13:40.
