I had to chuckle to myself because I read some of the jockeys as described in the subtitles before clicking on to watch the race and apparently Lester's surname was picket 😂😂😂 lol
He really didn't, he won because he was on the best horse on the day. And that expression tends to be used anyway when a horse makes all, wins from the front and by kicking and catches out the rest of the jockeys, hence catches them sleeping.
30 Classics...a record that will probably NEVER be broken...
Best jockey ever and i remember watching this with my dad and even better was Lester winning The breeders Cup mile on royal academy
simply a beautiful patient ride from Lester just perfect to a tee silky smooth
Great race lester piggott was a class act , rodrigo de triano was a very good horse
I think he'd have won the Derby on el gran senor.
Loved his spitting image puppet in the 80's. A world class rider, will never be emulated.
Piggott masterclass.

I was there that day.
R.I.P. Lester
Cauthen made a right pigs ear of it on Al Nasr but Rodrigo was a more than worthy winner, awesome replay though 😘

Very few jockeys would be brave enough to sit last in the 2000 Guineas
Lester rode them all to sleep...

Brilliant ride by the maestro.
