A well-known figure on the Irish point-to-point route, Coffey saw a career high point at Huntingdon in 2014 when he mailed the famous Saddlers Deal and That’s A Fact to victory, both of which were selected as partners by Russell.
“I’m devastated,” said Russell. “I’m shocked, I’m really over the whole thing. Pat was a very nice man and he was a real athlete who loved every part of racing.
“He understood the game, he bought foals, he bought three-year-olds, he rode horses. He was a great man. “
Russell called the HD double a dream result for Coffey. Recalling the joy the coach took from gambling, he said, “We had a great time together in Huntington that day. He couldn’t really get over it. He only dreamed of such days.
“It was just himself and a buddy of his walking over and it was great for the two horses to click. We made a lot of madness out of it and he made a few pounds out of it too. “

Russell added, “I spoke to him regularly and he was on my mind all week. He sent me a nice message after I got out of the hospital [following a fall] and I wanted to call him. I’m disgusted with myself that I never called him.
“He was a real Irishman. He milked cows in the morning, rode his few horses and went hunting. He was what our industry is about – the backbone of the game. “
Coffey was given a hammer blow in January 2018 when his nephew Patrick McCormack died in an agricultural accident at his base near Nenagh in Tipperary.
According to those who knew Coffey best, the coach had planned to increase his involvement in racing after a quiet period after the accident.
Russell said, “He had a minor accident a few years ago with the accident on his farm, and I know he was concerned about it. He was just getting started and I think he would. ”At a gallop. It’s just very sad. “
He added, “Pat loved going to the points, selling, breeding horses and loving the craziness too. He was a very enjoyable man and he will unfortunately be missed. I am devastated.”
