Tribute to Lester Piggott Racing Icon

RIP Lester Piggott.

The number 1 jockey of all time, no argument,

Good races in the Heaven's turf, Lester ! RIP

From one legend to another, i salute you Lester.

It's hard to imagine a world without Lester Piggot. His very name is synonymous with horse racing. As soon as you say it it conjures up an image of horses flying down the track. He certainly lived a very purposeful life, and I'm sure he enjoyed every minute, which is the whole point of life

The Greatest Lester Piggott ,,RIP

thank you what a legend

The long fellow,best jockey ever to grace a racecourse
He was only person that could win on a horse called Sica Dan which was a 4 furlong horse

Hail Lester!!! King of the Turf!! Rip my King!! 🙏

The John Wayne of Racing has ridden off into the sunset.

RIP to the best jockey of all time from the best antepost & value gambler of all time, mutual respect at the top

Sir Lester.. Rest in Peace… Great Jockey

Only few raise to legendary status but Lester was breaking all records from such young assuming age, but in a sport of kings piggott was higher n harder than most with unbelievable constitution and perfect poise in the saddle he will surely be remembered fondly as the greatest, to that knew him best and the best that knew of him.. Rest in peace Lester piggott

I remember as a child my lifelong passion for horse racing ignited watching Lester Piggott and Nijinsky winning the Triple Crown in 1970.Awesome jockey,awesome horse.Absolute legend 👏. RIP Lester. Thanks for the memories.

As ruthless as a rat 🐀 catcher, his determination to win was second to none, I'm saddened by the news of his death especially with the Derby coming up next week the race he made his own, another legend passes away, I'm sure that he will continue riding wherever he ends up? 🤔 And he will ride many winners, guaranteed, rest in peace 😉👍

Dead ballast.

RIP Lester.
A touching documentary.
I remember shouting home Royal Academy in my local at Newbury.
Happy days!

for those who don't know Lester Piggott was deaf.

Very sad news, rest in peace lester, absolute genius in the saddle.

Only Muhammed Ali could be considered his equal in sport. Lester was this county’s greatest ever athlete. He was unique. A man who defied the laws of physics by declaring war on his own body to become the best jockey we will ever see. Many will ride more winners, many will win more championships but no one will come close to his genius.
Travel easy, Lester.

Then Now and Forever. The Greatest

An absolute shame that his title was taken from him😔

BEST HORSE PIGGOT EVER SAT ON Nijinsky

RIP Lester. Thank You

The day Mr horse racing died

LEGEND!

I thought he was going to live for ever, he wasn't really one of the jockeys that I followed in his day, I was more for Willie Carson & Steve Cauthen, but there's no doubt that Lester was a good & clever jockey, he seemed to be able to trick a horse & get it to produce that little bit extra, just enough to win the race. R.I.P Sir.

Undoubtdly the greatest flat racing jockey in my lifetime
