Will never forget Pat. He rode our first winner, Great Light (who I rode out every morning) at Nottingham in 1981. That was a huge thrill. He also rode Sir Blessed to win many times at Windsor on a Monday night, trained by my husband Robert (RJR Williams). Those two knew how to win at Windsor! He was one of the best jockeys ever to sit on a horse in my opinion. RIP Pat Eddery. x

[@stellaswales8625]

One of the greatest. Like Lester, there will never, ever be another Pat Eddery. RIP champ.

[@JohnMc1722]

I remember asking for his autograph Newbury in the early 90's very accommodating and asked me where i was from To me he was the greatest

[@Hanamy7777]

Brough does a wonderful job here. So genuine. Pat was my favourite sportsman growing up. Dancing Brave was great but my favourite was Golden Fleece. Life is short and we remember the days in the sun.

[@anatchuv]

Hadn't heard about how Pat's life had gone since he stopped race riding and Brough Scott indicates it had not gone well.Hope he was able to get some pleasure from his old glory. For he was a true great. RIP Never forgotten.

[@stationofdreams8242]

A lovely tribute. He was certainly as good as any jockey who reached the top, and exceptional in a big race. R.I.P. Pat.

[@mabbrey]

great tribute

[@catonahi]

Such a sad end for Pat,great jockey and a good man who lost his way..nice tribute by Brough

[@yarmouthiow]

He was a great bloke too.

[@UXB-p5u]

Desperately sad how the great man ended his day's.. A true champion an warm honest hugely skilled and talented horseman 🙏❤️

[@jimmysharkey1665]

great tribute from brough scott enough said rest in peace

[@simonthompson6306]

A beautifully constructed Obituary. A work of an artist worthy of the man we lost.

[@JSB-IZ-ME]

So true Brough a wonderful talent. Like so many other professional athletes when the dream ends the nightmare begins and its only then that the real battle begins. This final battle Pat lost but thank you so much for the memories xxx

[@Dan-pd2wk]

In Hong Kong , Pat is always the Top jockey of all time! Thanks for the memory!

[@tommygunhunter]

Moving tribute to a supreme athlete of the equestrian arts who could get his mounts moving. RIP to the great Patrick Eddery.

[@JasonThomasurl]

l've been watching horse racing for a long time. l've seen some fantastic jockeys have achieved so much have where they are then. but pat eddery was right up there. he was a amazing top flat jockey. l like his stylish ride on the horses. he be shorly missed. RIP pat.

[@akpofureot-t6803]

Rainbow Quest, Pebbles, even El Gran Senor in the Derby were great memories and moments. Pat sat motionless and chatting with the furiously rowing jockey (Rainbow Quest) was worth the admission money alone as was the mighty mare Pebbles (Champion Stakes) brilliant

[@robjanko3010]

fantastic tribute by another fantastic legend

[@JohnMc1722]

Great words Brough

[@neilharrington8767]

Brough Scott - legend!

[@genestrachan5040]

His ride aboard Tolemeo in the Arlington Million was one of the greatest ever..sat chilly saving ground on the inside..then shot his way through at the top of the lane defeating the champion John Henry with Christ McCarron

[@derekthesec]

Pat Eddery was one of the best flat jockeys. Racecourses should consider naming races and/or facilities after the jockey.

[@paulcoxon6609]

he used to love riding at York races great jockey rest in peace Pat Eddery great guy god bless you

[@alanwilliams1592]

pat was a true pro..my fav jock..golden fleece ride was underated in derby.horse was massive long stride but pat made epsom look easy

[@pauljones5066]

Brough please write Pat's autobiography!

[@elgransenor1472]

Pat Eddery rode the winner of the two greatest races I’ve seen in my lifetime. El Gran Senor in the Guineas Dancing Brave in the Arc. Ironically both narrow Derby runners up.

[@genestrachan5040]

Easily the greatest jockey ever

[@dannylfcmeatloaf]

My favourite all time jockey, but man could he be frustrating. Once see him get boxed in in a 3 horse race lol. He refused to switch and waited on the rails, but of course the horse in front never moved over ha ha . He and his horse crossed the line cantering

[@MrBNaylor]

How does one get a hold of Brough Scott? I would like to speak with him about his grandfather Jack Seely who led our Canadian Boys into the battle of Moreuil Wood, France on March 30th 1918. Also RIP Pat Eddery.
