JOCKEY PROFILE
Lester Keith Piggott was born in Wantage on 5th November 1935 into a family steeped in racing history. Ernie Piggott, Lester's grandfather, owned The Old Manor racing stables in Letcombe Regis and rode 3 Grand National winners in 1912, 1918 and 1919, while Keith Piggott, Lester's father owned South Bank Stables in Lambourn. Piggott could legitimately lay claim to be the greatest jockey of the 20th century with 4493 wins, if not of all time, and his 30 English Classic winners are too numerous to list in a brief article. However, he did win the Epsom Derby on 9 occasions; in 1954 Never Say Die (SR 2124), 1957 Crepello (SR 2109), 1960 St Paddy (SR 2047), 1968 Sir Ivor (SR 2092), 1970 Nijinksy (SR 2140), 1972 Roberto (SR 2107), 1976 Empery (SR 1986), 1977 The Minstrel (SR 2094) and finally in 1983 with Teenoso (SR 2088). He also rode 16 Irish Classic winners, including the Irish Derby on 5 occasions, 1965 Meadow Court (SR 2031), 1967 Ribocco (SR 2015), 1968 Ribero (SR 1997), 1977 The Minstrel (SR 2094) and 1981 Shergar (SR 2169). After retiring as a jockey he did train for a while, but never reached the dizzy heights he had done as a jockey. |
