Pat Eddery: A special talent who was born to ride

Pat Eddery was undoubtedly one of the greatest jockeys to grace the 20th century and beyond.

Only Gordon Richards rode more winners and was champion more times than Eddery, who had a colossal 4,632 victories in the UK and 11 titles, the same as Lester Piggott.

Dubbed a boy wonder because of his natural talent, Eddery rode his first winner in 1969 and was still one of the best in the business when he called it a day in 2003.
