Pat Eddery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Patrick James John Eddery, known as Pat Eddery (born 18 March 1952 in County Kildare) is an Irish former flat racing jockey.

He began his career in 1967 and rode over 4,500 winners, including three wins in the Epsom Derby, and was Champion Jockey on eleven occasions, a record he shares with Lester Piggott.

In 1985 he rode Pebbles to victory in the Breeders' Cup Turf and 1991 won the Breeders' Cup Sprint aboard Sheikh Albadou.

In 1990 he was the winner of the inaugural Lester Award for Flat Jockey of the Year, which he again won in 1991 and 1996, sharing on the latter occasion with Frankie Dettori. He also received two Flat Jockey Special Recognition awards in 2002 and 2003. He retired from the saddle at the end of the 2003 flat season.

In July 2005 Eddery was granted a training license and he has set up his stable of 40 horses at the Musk Hill Stud Farm in Nether Winchendon, near Aylesbury. The stud is nicely located and he has a good team behind him with the two racing managers Simon Double and John Newman who also co-founded Pat Eddery Racing. He has various syndicates for owners to have a share in the horse.

Pat Eddery's first runner as a trainer was Perez, who finished second in an all-weather maiden race at Wolverhampton in December 2005. His first training win was with the horse Visionist in a handicap race at Kempton Park in April 2006.

Pats first winner on turf was the 2 yr old filly CAVORT in a maiden 6f race at Goodwood. He was awarded an honorary OBE in 2005.
