Racing At Punchestown Today Has Been Cancelled As A Mark Of Respect For The Sad Passing Of Irish Jockey Michael O'Sullivan

Michael sadly passed away in the early hours of this morning.

Tributes are pouring in for Irish jockey Michael O'Sullivan who's died following a fall at Thurles earlier this month.

The Irish Horseracing Board (IHRB) has issued a statement on behalf of his family, saying he passed away early this morning at Cork University Hospital.

Suzanne Eade, CEO of Horse Racing Ireland (HRI), said “Michael’s talent shone through for big-race success on National Hunt racing’s greatest stages. Michael was a gentleman. He was loved and respected by all who knew him, and everyone can be proud of his many achievements, both on and off the racecourse. 

Today's racing at Punchestown has been cancelled as a mark of respect.
