Lester always maintains that Sir Ivor was the best. I have never heard an interview where he says Nijinsky was the best he rode. Nijinsky beat horses that were not special. R.I.P. Lester.
Wonderful stories and nostalgia nobody will ever touch Lester s nine Derby winners , a truly great jockey who had a marvellous career and left us all with so many great memories .
Only one word to sum up Lester piggott greatest yes Lester is a one off wish I could meet him it would make my life I wish you very good luck and hearth for many years to come and thank you for the joy you have given to us all from john chappell
One Agrees With Funee Man Lester Always Maintained SIR IVOR.Phenomenal Finishing Speed ,There Is Great Footage Out There For All To See ,Watch For Lesters Delivery Pure Masterly Executed.
A Wealth of knowledge has gone forever.......what a lovely man.
The attention to detail and the flawless recall, ain't that a man
How lovely to see Lester looking happy and healthy AND with all his marbles. I never saw him so relaxed or lucid.

"She was only a little filly you know. I suppose she was a little bit lucky to win that day." Enough about the Queen, tell us about Carrozza!
With Lester you never really do know...
The subtitles are cos he is profoundly deaf which affects his speech.
@dfggfd gfdgfd - I didn't say totally deaf, check your facts before typing rubbish...
You know deaf people can lip read ???
I never knew that, thanks for sharing!
how many winners for her majesty again?
