Killarney native and champion jockey Oisin Murphy will release an autobiography in October, which he says will give a "searingly honest" account of his life.

The book: 'Sacrifice: A Year in the Life of a Champion Jockey', was written during the 2024 season and is being published by Bantam Press, an imprint of Penguin.
It will detail Murphy's journey to securing his fourth champion jockey title, along with his four wins at Royal Ascot and three Group One victories.
In a social media post Murphy said: "I wanted to share my passion for racing and horses and what a year in the life of a jockey looks like."
He promised readers a level of "access, honesty and insight" into the daily struggles of a jockey.
The book is set to cover the difficult parts of his career and personal life. Murphy has faced several public incidents, including a positive cocaine test in 2020 that led to a three-month ban, and a later 14-month suspension for breaking COVID rules and failing two breathalyser tests. More recently, he was fined and banned from driving after a car crash in April.
Penguin's description of the book states it will reveal his personal struggles, including with alcohol, and the pressure that "pushed his body and mind to their breaking point." It will also describe the "private agony of wasting" (the process jockeys go through to lose weight) and the sense of community in the weighing room.
