Book information
The private story of the world's most famous jockey. Lester Piggott, by the world's most famous writer of racing thrillers. The inside story of the figure that racegoers have cheered for thirty-seven years, yet hardly know. The unpublished facts behind the punishments for rough riding in his youth, and the truth about the accusations of stealing other jockey's mounts. Lester has never defended himself against untrue press reports, and because of his reticence, been much misunderstood. This book sets the record straight.
