  • Ascot Announce Pat Eddery Stakes Will Open King George Day
    ASCOT ANNOUNCE PAT EDDERY STAKES WILL OPEN KING GEORGE DAY In honour of the late Pat Eddery, who won the 1975 (Grundy) and 1986 (Dancing Brave) renewals of the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes, the Listed Winkfield Stakes, which opens King George Day, has been permanently renamed the Pat Eddery Stakes. The race will be run as the Wooldridge Group Pat Eddery Stakes, and Pat’s daughters, Natasha and Nichola, along with other members of the family, will present the winners’ trophies alongside the race sponsors. Natasha Eddery said: “As a family, we all agreed that our fondest, most cherished memories of Dad's incredible racing career were at Ascot Racecourse. While Dad had so much success all over the world, Ascot was one of his favourites by far. We are all so grateful that Ascot has chosen to honour his legacy on King George day; Dad would be so very proud.” Pat Eddery was born on March 18, 1952 in Newbridge, County Kildare, Ireland and forged a reputation as one of the greatest riders of the post-war period. Champion jockey a joint record 11 times and the winner of every Classic in England and Ireland, Eddery was the leading rider at Royal Ascot on six occasions. Royal Ascot in 1989 proved to be Eddery’s finest as he partnered eight winners (joining Lester Piggott (1965 & 1975) on the record number which was passed by Ryan Moore in 2015) at the Meeting including Two Timing in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes, Cacoethes in the King Edward VII Stakes and Assatis in the Hardwicke Stakes.
