RIP Lester Piggott

'World's Greatest Jockey' Lester Piggott, 9 times Epsom Derby winner has died aged 86 in Switzerland. With 4,493 career wins, he was widely regarded as one of the greatest flat racing jockeys of all time.

I remember resding once about him borrowing a whip during a race from a french jockey!!

He was nicknamed Longfellow by other jockeys because he was one of the tallest flat jockeys
