Pat Glennon (23 August 1927 – 14 February 2004) was an Australian jockey raised in the Ascot Vale area in Melbourne, not far from the Flemington Racecourse.
Glennon rode his first winner, a horse named Alares, trained by his father, at a bush track Bacchus Marsh at the age of 13.
Glennon then moved to South Australia, where he rode with great success, quickly becoming one of the leading apprentices in Adelaide.
Linking with Jim Cummings' team (the father of the great Bart), he went on to pilot Comic Court to victory in the 1950 Melbourne Cup.
While in Ireland, he came to terms with the French trainer Etienne Pollet and accepted a contract to ply his trade in France.
