Pat was the most successful jockey of his generation in
Britain. The 11 times champion won every Classic in
England and Ireland and achieved a record 29 centuries.
He is the second winning-most jockey in English racing
history behind Sir Gordon Richards.
He lives and breathes horses and after 35 years in
the saddle has taken over the reins as a trainer. "I
was very lucky to have had a marvellous career as a
jockey, riding all round the world. If I achieve
as a trainer, half of what I achieved as a jockey,
I'll be very happy".

 Carolyn
has a racing pedigree to match
that of husband Pat. The
daughter of Classic-winning jockey,
Manny Mercer, whose career was
tragically cut short in 1959,
she is also the niece and grand-daughter
of former champions, Joe Mercer
and Harry Wragg respectively.
Having
started riding racehorses at the
tender age of 11, she rode internationally
before becoming British champion
amateur lady rider in 1987 and
1988.
As Assistant Trainer, Carolyn
plays a key role in the running
of the yard. A real horse
woman, she is very hands-on and
believes in an holistic approach
to the training of racehorses. |

 Simon
has thirteen years experience in
the management of racehorse syndication
and co-founded Pat Eddery Racing.
As
Racing Manager, he liaises closely
with owners and keeps them up-to-date
with what’s
going on via horse reports and
the web site. Using his
communication skills and personal
contacts he has developed within
the racing industry, he is also
responsible for media and public
relations.
“Keeping owners
informed on a regular basis is
vital. It enables them
to gain so much more out of their
ownership experience. Communication
is crucial and I will ensure
owners and the press are fully
aware of the latest developments
at Pat Eddery Racing”. |
