Lester Piggott is a retired English professional jockey, popularly known
as "The Long Fellow".He is considered to be the best of his generation
and the greatest English flat jockey of all time, with 4,493 career
wins, including nine Derby victories.
Piggott began racing horses from his father's stable when he was 10
years old and won his first race in 1948, aged 12 years, on a horse
called The Chase at Haydock Park. A teenage sensation, he rode his first
winner of the Epsom Derby on Never Say Die in 1954 aged 18 years and
went on to win eight more, on Crepello (1957), St. Paddy (1960), Sir
Ivor (1968), Nijinsky (1970), Roberto (1972), Empery (1976), The
Minstrel (1977) and Teenoso (1983). He was stable jockey to Noel Murless
and later to Vincent O'Brien and had a glittering career of
unparalleled success. Known as the "housewives' favourite", Piggott had
legions of followers and did much to expand the popularity of horse
racing beyond its narrow, class-based origins.
