The Irish Champion jockey trophy presented to Pat Eddery in 1982, In the form of an electroplated tray with pierced gallery, inscribed PAT EDDERY, IRISH CHAMPION JOCKEY, FIRST FOREIGN BASED JOCKEY TO ACHIEVE THIS DISTINCTION, length 47cm., in poor condition missing one foot, handles detached from rim Pat Eddery's 1982 Irish Champion Jockey title while being based outside the country still remains a unique achievement. His title was achieved largely by riding for the all powerful Vincent O'Brien yard and owner Robert Sangster. Although he still rode plenty of winners in Britain including his second Derby win on Golden Fleece, the split in riding attentions meant that 1982 was the only season in Britain between 1973 and 2001 when he didn't ride a century of winners.
