The 1969 Wokingham Stakes Handicap at Royal Ascot turned into a cakewalk for the apprentice jockeys... The best position the senior jockeys could manage was sixth place for Brian Jago on Harry Hannon's Trindle Down as the first five places were filled by horses ridden by apprentices claiming allowances.
First home was 17 year old Pat Eddery claiming 7lb on Sky Rocket trained at Streatley Berkshire by Michael Pope who made every yard of the the running. In second place was the six year old Spaniards Inn trained by John Winter at Newmarket and ridden by Chris Dwyer another apprentice claiming the full 7lbs allowance. In third was Bunto trained by Doug Marks at Lambourn and off a weight of 7stone 2lbs ridden by Doug's promising 7lb claiming apprentice Peter Madden. In fourth place came the most experienced of the quintet of apprentice jockeys, Hopping Hill trained by Atty Corbett at Newmarket was ridden by George Duffield claiming the 3lbs allowance. And finally in Fifth place came Solar Topic riden by Pat Reavey claiminng 5lbs and trained by Gavin Hunter at his East Ilsley stables.
Pat Eddery on Sky Rocket (13) wins the Wokingham from Chris Dwyer and Spaniards Inn (5), Bunto and Peter Madden (15), Hopping Hill and George Duffield (16), with Solar Topic ridden by Pat Reavey in fifth place.
