Jockey Michael O'Sullivan remains in intensive care


Jockey Michael O’Sullivan remains in intensive care with no change to his condition.

The jockey was airlifted to Cork University Hospital after a fall at Thurles nine days ago.

In a statement issued on the X platform on Saturday morning the IHRB said: "Michael's family remain at his bedside at Cork University Hospital and continue to be grateful for all the support which they are receiving.

"There is no change in Michael's condition today and any updates will be communicated on behalf of the O'Sullivan family by the IHRB."

O’Sullivan shot to prominence in 2023 when winning the Supreme Novices' Hurdle aboard Marine Nationale, after also tasting Grade One glory with Barry Connell’s charge at Fairyhouse.

He had another winner at Cheltenham that year, making it an opening-day double when taking the Fred Winter with Jazzy Matty for Gordon Elliott, while the Connell-trained and owned Good Land was a Grade One scorer under O’Sullivan at the 2023 Dublin Racing Festival.
