- Cornelious Robert Eddery. Brother of former top jockey and trainer Pat Eddery. Has worked for Walter Swinburn as an assistant trainer previously. Then worked as Assistant to his brother Pat from 2008. In that year Pat Eddery was in rehab and had fallen out with another brother Paul (who brought an unfair dismissal case against Pat). Through to mid-2010 the set-up was not stable with Pat still having the licence but various stories of problems at the yard. In August 2010 it was proposed that Robert would take over the licence at the Musk Hill Stud stables. After a meeting with the BHA that month in 2010 it was agreed that Pat would retain the training licence and Robert left the set-up.
- Gained his own training licence in April 2011 when he had his first runners. Starts his career with 24 boxes at the Heyward Place stables in Newmarket.
