Surprisingly, he took his first ride in public in a hurdle race on a horse called Plumbob at the old Dundalk racecourse in May 1994 and while he took another ride over obstacles later that year, those have proved to be his only two outings over jumps in his whole career. Things took off for Smullen in no uncertain terms in 1995 and he continued that momentum into 1996, riding a total of 54 winners between both seasons. It was during that year that he first rode for Dermot Weld and having become a more regular fixture on the yards horses in 1998, he has been attached to that yard ever since. However, it was Tommy Stack that had provided him with his first win at Group 1 level the previous year when giving Pat the leg up on Tarascon before she won the Moyglare Stud Stakes in 1997. Without doubt the most significant moment of Pat’s career at that time came when he took over from Mick Kinane as Dermot Weld’s retained rider in 1999, he hasn’t looked back since.
