Bloodhorse Literate Pioneer of the Turf

Lester Piggott  

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lester_Piggott 

Lester Piggott Bloodhorse Literate Achiever in His Own Right in His  Early Teens a

similar achievement as we see unfolding today through the life and times of Joseph O'Brien

 Lester won, one hundred and sixteen races at Royal Ascot.

In 1952 as a 16-year-old Lester made all to land the Wokingham by three lengths

 partnering Malka's Boy.

Lester was Champion jockey eleven times, winning thirty Classics which included a record nine wins in the Derby, the first in 1954 partnering Never Say Die. Over sixty years + Lester rode 4,493 winners, enthralling this whole country and just about all the people in it.

In 1954 Piggott was just 18 when he won his first Derby aboard the 33-1 shot Never Say Die, on June 2, 1954. He was the youngest jockey to win the race during the 20th century, but his big-race temperament was no surprise to those who had watched his talent blossom since his race-riding debut at the age of 12.
