Eddery just fails to reach century again

Pat Eddery’s last-gasp attempt to ride a century of winners for the 29th time in the past 30 seasons was thwarted when he failed to gain the one success he needed from six intended rides on the final day of the campaign at Wolverhampton today.

There was no hiding the 11 times champion’s disappointment to just miss out on continuing his remarkable scoring rate, having by common consent been riding at the top of his form all season.
