Eleven time champion jockey Pat Eddery will ride his last race at Doncaster today, bringing down the curtain on a glittering 36 year career.
But the 51 year old does not have a ride in the November Stakes, the big race of the meeting, which marks the end of the turf Flat season.
Eddery is hoping for further success in his new career managing racing syndicates. His record as a jockey has already ensured that he has gone down in racing legend.
His tally of 4,632 winners is second only to that of Sir Gordon Richards and his big-race haul includes three Epsom Derby wins and four Arc successes.
