Jockey David Egan’s thoughts were with the two racing figures who have died in the last week after landing his first Classic on Roger Varian-trained Eldar Eldarov in the Cazoo St Leger at Doncaster.
The 23-year-old jockey said the death of the Queen and Jack de Bromhead, the 13-year-old son of Grand National and Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning trainer Henry de Bromhead, whose fatal fall while taking part in a pony race last weekend has left the Irish racing community in mourning, put his success into perspective.
‘It’s a week since Jack passed away and it was him who I thought about after the line,’ said Egan. ‘It is a great moment but it has been a sad week with everything that has happened with Her Majesty and Jack. We live on but we don’t forget them.’
