Eddery rules at Windsor

PAT EDDERY signed off with a winner at one of his favourite racecourses as Desert Quest took the spoils in the Tote Exacta Stakes at Windsor yesterday.

And the success was due in no uncertain terms to the sort of power-packed ride Eddery has made his trademark during his 36-year riding career.

Desert Quest (6-1) ran in a visor, which appeared to aid the colt’s concentration as he survived trouble in running to come with a powerful late run and edge out 11-2 favourite Alrafid by a head.
