Where's Grundy now? It might have escaped your attention that Pat Eddery the most successful British flat jockey in the modern era has decided to retire at the end of the season. Aged 51, Eddery has rode more winners through his career than household names like Lester Piggott and Willie Carson but will be left tantalisingly short of Gordon Richards' all-time record. In his pomp, the sight of Eddery's pert buttocks astride a super colt like 1975 Derby winner Grundy left even the most hetero punter calling a Stewards' Enquiry on their sexuality. And being an old fart myself, I can remember clearly from my youth the year Eddery fought off living legend Piggott to become Champion Jockey for the first time aged 22, so his retirement represents another reminder of my own incipient mortality (because after all, it's all about me, me, me in the end). Parallax View wishes him all the best for the future.
