From one legend to another, i salute you Lester.

Eugene Bell

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

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.

Ron Harris

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 😉👍

A touching documentary.

Happy days!

Barbara Dyson

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

Philip Carthy

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

David Robinson

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

Paul Donohoe

The day Mr horse racing died

LEGEND!

Yorkie Steve

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.

Brian Farman

Undoubtdly the greatest flat racing jockey in my lifetime
