Grappa Nonino 🏆🏆 Fairytale stuff to bring the name P J Smullen back into the winners enclosure in Dundalk Stadium where my dad won his first and last race Amazing to do it for his former boss D K Weld who he enjoyed most of his success with

On Pat Smullen’s birthday it was good to see Frances Crowley’s Brickfield Stud graduate Front Line Fury make a decent debut to be third in a smart 2yo maiden at Yarmouth. He’s a Kodi Bear half-brother to Maw Lam, who was placed last year in the Queen Mary. One to follow.

Today we remember Pat Smullen—a champion jockey, and a champion for pancreatic cancer patients. 💜🏇 On his birthday, we honour his legacy and thank his family and supporters. The € 3 m+ raised in his name to support research and trials continues to bring hope. #PatSmullen
