Whipped past at the last furlong, at odds of 1/100 on, taken by the 'Grim Reaper' on the inside...

He spent a year in prison for tax evasion. Why do wealthy people frequently do that??? Great jockey as was said.

I regularly think of Lester - my good lady rarely lets me finish a sentence.

He did, and with it came the wonderful gag; Who was the last 30 stone bloke to ride a Derby winner? Lester Piggotts cellmate!

Every time I have the misfortune to see Carrie Johnson, I'm reminded of the quip 'Last time I saw a mouth as big as that, Lester Piggott was sitting behind it'. Farewell, LP, and thanks for the memories. :thumb:
