Legendary Irish jockey Pat Eddery to be remembered with permanent race title at Ascot
Ascot has announced the Listed Winkfield Stakes, the opening event on King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes day on July 23, has been permanently renamed in honour of Pat Eddery.
In recognition of his achievements, Ascot plans to run the seven-furlong event as the Wooldridge Group Pat Eddery Stakes, with the rider's daughters, Natasha and Nicola, along with other members of the family, set to present the winner's trophies alongside the race sponsors.
