The O’Sullivan family said: "We are deeply proud of Michael’s incredible talent and the legacy he left in the world of racing.
"As a family, we have always admired Michael’s achievements both on and off the track, and it means so much to us to see his talent recognised in this way.
THE opening race of the Cheltenham Festival has been renamed in honour of tragic jockey Michael O'Sullivan.
O'Sullivan's biggest win in the saddle was his 2023 Supreme Novices' Hurdle victory aboard Marine Nationale.
And for this year the traditional curtain-raiser will be known as The Michael O'Sullivan Supreme Novices' Hurdle.
