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".
