Episode Notes

In this episode of The Paddock and The Pavilion, Stephen Wallis speaks to young amateur jockey Paddy Smullen, who recently rode his first winner at Dundalk — the same track where his late father, Pat Smullen, recorded his first success. 

Paddy reflects on his journey in racing so far, shares memories of his father, the 2016 Derby-winning jockey who sadly passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2020 and discusses his aspirations for the future. 

He also gives us his pick for this year’s Derby at Epsom.
