Always a tad awkward when immediate family is ignored in favour of outsider/s. Unless of course you're a selfish, cold-hearted, gold digging piece of filth...

1.3 million does seem a feeble amount for the likes of Pat?, I mean his Arc winnings etc must have accumulated to a large sum of money, he did ride at the top for a very long time? must be a tax dodge!

dunsdon seems very young to be worth that already..has he inherited. came across him first on the south east ptp circuit when daddy(presumably) bought good horses for him as a novice rider. in fact probably had my first decent winner on him at 8/1 on an old stager

pat was estranged from at least one of the daughters, she was on all the talk shows after he died saying she just couldn't be around his drinking and the family had tried all they could before reaching that decision...so pretty sure she wasn't expecting an inheritance

So it is not £1.3 million but £750,000 after tax according to the Mail -- if it had been split four ways then it would be a bit under £200,000 each which is very nice but is not a life-changing sum of money.

I never accepted he rode anything like the number of winners he claimed. At the end of every summer there'd be a quote from him about being on the 89-winner mark, and how he was looking forward to reaching the century again. But who could remember him actually riding any of those winners? All he seemed to do was spend summer after summer easing market drifters into fourth place at Brighton.

Thought he was given shares in all his Group winners at stud,but that may well end in the event of passing.
More to the point, it probably ends when the stallions pass away.

A neighbour in my road Father passed away 3 years ago. He died aged 92 and left over £5,000,000 to his carer that he had known for only 18 months. His 2 sons and grandchildren got nothing, not a shilling.

seems BJ's aren't 30 or 40 quid anymore! Maybe the family got looked after in settlements and as and when required when the kids started needing real dough. That has to be the residue of his walk around pocket money, he had what he needed,a drink when wanted and a bed to kip in plus his clothes. That was his decision.

"pat was estranged from at least one of the daughters.... she just couldn't be around his drinking and the family had tried all they could before reaching that decision"
I remember a story when he was coming out of rehab, one of his daughters picked him up and drove him home, first thing he done when he got home started drinking. That was the point she gave up and they had virtually no contact for last 5 years.
Leaving his 4 children out of his will and leaving his entire estate to his lover when his kids got nothing at all, that is very sad. Don't know the whole story about him and wouldn't want to judge him at all, but seems his addiction was too strong and he couldn’t overcome it. He was a brilliant jockey and remember him from his apprentice days when Eddery and Philip Waldron were the 2 top lads.

In the days of Terry Wogan on Radio 2 and his infamous 'Wogans Wager' circa 1972, my mum used to back P. Eddery (3), P Waldron (5) and P Madden (7). The amount of collects she had was unbelievable.
