Summary
Often the man in the background for Richard Hannon, riding the second string horses while Champion jockey Richard Hughes dominated the stable’s best, Pat Dobbs has been a perennially underrated pilot, but one that is much appreciated by trainers and owners across Britain.
Dobbs finally got his day in the sun in the Investec Coronation Cup of 2015, where he produced a superb waiting ride to drive Pether’s Moon in front of top-class french raiders Dolniya and Flintshire in the final 100 yards.
