Ascot has announced the opening race on King George day has been permanently renamed in honour of the late champion jockey Pat Eddery
Eddery was crowned champion 11 times, claimed four Prix de l’Arc de Triomphes and won over 4,600 races before his retirement in 2003
There was a unique South African connection in the background as the Ralph Beckett-trained Bluestocking charged to victory under Rossa Ryan to win the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on Sunday
