Splendid the word for brilliant Eddery

Age is certainly proving no barrier to timeless veteran Pat Eddery and he partnered Splendid Era to a breathtaking success at Lingfield on Tuesday.

The Barry Hills-trained colt was going comfortably in the lead on the turn into the home straight in the Littlewoods Bet Direct AW Owners Championship Novice Stakes but hung violently right and forfeited many lengths.
