Perfect as usual from greatest jockey Lester- this guy was great, blistering acceleration but alas Sea Bird was the mighty one- Sea Bird the best i have ever seen
Lester always said that Sir Ivor was the best horse he ever rode. Sir Ivor had a blistering change of pace which was shown to great effect when he was delivered late to win the Washington D.C International at Laurel Park in 1968.
when he won the DC I'National Lester was asked when he thought he would win answering "last week"
Sir Ivor went to America and beat Fort Macey by a comfortable length. Dr Fager beat Fort Macey by a similar margin carrying over 16 lbs more than Fort Macey in the United Nations Handicap, while running on turf for the first time.
The best of Britain! Our beautiful country!
Sir Ivor was bred by Alice Headley Bell at her Mill Ridge Farm in Lexington, Kentucky.
A great winning combination and team 🐎🐎🐎
The great lester piggott. And sir ivor a great horse.
Lester said that his favourite horse was Sir Ivor. He said the best horse he ever saw was Sea Bird the second.
He was so right, Sir Ivor was excellent but the French horse was something else.
Sir Ivor went on to win the Laurel International in America , the press slated Lester for his ride , but he rode him to finish strongly , that was their style..
The master
