Lester Piggott is the greatest jockey the world has ever known. In a career spanning over 40 years he dominated the sport of flat racing becoming the housewifes choice the punters favourite and the man his fellow jockeys feared above all others. In the 1984 St. Leger at Doncaster Lester powered home the resolute Commanche Run to break Frank Buckles long-standing record of 27 Classic wins. In his 50th year he added another classic when partnering Shadeed to victory in the 2000 Guineas before starting what everyone thought was to be a glorious retirement. However in 1990 at the age of 54 Lester stunned the racing world by resuming his riding career after completing a two year prison sentence. Like everything in Lesters riding life his comeback was triumphant culminating in his 30th and final Classic success on Rodrigo de Triano appropriately owned by Robert Sangster.
