Eddery breaks 100 barrier again

Pat Eddery became a ton-up jockey for the 29th time in his career at Bath today when a double aboard Hawk and Bethesda made it another century of winners.

Eddery, 49, said afterwards: 'Obviously, it`s nice to do it again but each year it gets that bit harder.

'However, it`s thanks to John Dunlop, Amanda Perrett, Alan Jarvis and other trainers who have done me proud and given me another good season.

'The only season I missed out as far as a domestic century of winners is concerned was 1983 when I rode mainly in Ireland, where I was actually champion jockey.'

But Eddery poured cold water on any talk of imminent retirement from the saddle and added: 'I`ll just carry on while I keep enjoying the game and there are definitely no plans at present to hang up my riding boots.'
