Lester Piggott RIP

[Alastair]

So sad to hear of the passing of Lester. I was born in 1957 and consider him to be the greatest British based jockey of my era.

Undeniably the best Jockey and "horse" man ever to ride, people talk about great american jockeys but their job was simlistic compared to race riding here, Piggott-any track, any pace, any distance, any going, he could simply naturally adjust to pretty much any situation. I bet they have a hard job tracking all his money down tho. ??
