Eleven-times Flat racing champion Pat Eddery, one of the greatest jockeys of all time, has died at the age of 63. The Ireland-born jockey rode 4,632 winners before his retirement in 2003 including 14 British classics. Only Gordon Richards (4,870) has ridden more winners in Britain than Eddery who had been suffering from ill health.
