Autographs of Pat Eddery

Patrick James John Eddery OBE (18 March 1952 – 10 November 2015) was an Irish flat racing jockey and trainer. He rode three winners of the Derby and was Champion Jockey on eleven occasions. He rode the winners of 4,632 British flat races, a figure exceeded only by Sir Gordon Richards.
Eddery was born in Newbridge, County Kildare, near the Curragh Racecourse.: 15  His mother, Josephine Eddery, was the daughter of jockey Jack Moylan; his father, Jimmy Eddery, was twice Irish champion jockey and won the 1955 Irish Derby on Panaslipper. Josephine and Jimmy had thirteen children - six daughters and seven sons, the eldest of whom died in infancy. Eddery was the fifth of the twelve surviving children. Several of his brothers became jockeys.: 17  Eddery attended the Patrician Brothers' Primary School in Newbridge and, when the family later moved to Blackrock, the Oatlands Primary School in Stillorgan. He learnt to ride as a very small child and was riding racehorses by the time he was nine. Taking little interest in school, he dreamed of winning the Derby.: 18-19
Eddery began his career as an apprentice jockey in Ireland with the stable of Seamus McGrath. His first ride was at the Curragh in August 1967 where he finished last of the seven runners.: 20-22  Later that year he moved to England where he was apprenticed to Frenchie Nicholson and recorded his first success on Alvaro, trained by at Epsom Downs Racecourse on 24 April 1969 after riding more than one whole season without a single winner. The same horse was to give Eddery six wins in succession during the 1969 season. While still riding as an apprentice he won the Wokingham Handicap and the Timeform Gold Cup in 1969, the Northumberland Plate in 1970 and the Goodwood Stakes in 1971, a year in which he won the title of Champion Apprentice Jockey with 71 wins. In 1972, riding as retained jockey for Newmarket trainer Geoffrey Barling, Eddery had his first ride in the Epsom Derby and came third on outsider Pentland Firth. He was awarded the 1972 Ascot Gold Cup after the disqualification of first-past-the-post Rock Roi. Later that season, he became first jockey to the Lambourn yard of trainer Peter Walwyn.
