Michael O’Sullivan Receiving ‘Best of Care’ After Thurles Fall


Recommended Posts

Jockey Michael O'Sullivan remains in intensive care following a fall at Thurles last week.

Dr Jennifer Pugh, chief medical officer of the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (IHRB), issued an update on X on Tuesday which read, “Michael continues to receive the best of care in the intensive care unit at Cork University Hospital.

“Michael's family remain overwhelmed by the support and well wishes they have received over the last number of days.”

O'Sullivan's mount, the Gerard O'Leary-trained Wee Charlie (Ire), was one of three fallers at the final fence of the two-mile Racing Again February 20th Handicap Chase at Thurles on Thursday, February 6, with two other runners badly hampered and unseating their riders.

The rest of the meeting was abandoned after the second race as the air ambulance arrived to take O'Sullivan to hospital.

The rider shot to prominence in 2023 when he celebrated two winners at the Cheltenham Festival, notably landing the G1 Supreme Novices' Hurdle aboard Marine Nationale (Ire).
