Eddery looking for fairytale fifth victory

PAT EDDERY is banking on Westmoreland Road to give him a fairytale fifth victory in the Seabiscuit St Leger at Doncaster today.

The 11-times champion jockey, who quits the saddle at the end of the season, has won the world's oldest Classic on Moon Madness (1986), Toulon (1991), Moonax (1994) and Silver Patriarch (1997) and is not without a chance this time on Amanda Perrett's progressive colt.

Westmoreland Road booked his ticket for Doncaster by giving weight and a beating to older horses in a Newmarket conditions event last month.
