The Punter pays tribute to Lester Piggott
Lester Keith Piggott was born in the local hospital in Wantage, Berkshire on November 5, 1935, with a racing pedigree that extended back to the 18th century. His father, Keith Piggott, rode the 1939 Champion Hurdle winner African Sister and became champion trainer of jumpers in 1962-63 thanks to his Grand National victory with Ayala, whom Lester himself schooled at home.
Keith's father, Ernie Piggott, was champion jump jockey three times and also won the Grand National three times. Ernie's wife, Margaret, was a daughter of the great Victorian jockey Tom Cannon and his wife Kate, who was from the notable Day family of Danebury. Lester's mother was born Iris Rickaby and her father, Fred Rickaby senior, won three Classics as a jockey.

Eydon has been ruled out of Saturday’s Cazoo Derby at Epsom after suffering a setback.
A return to Haydock for the Lancashire Oaks could be on the cards for Viola following her fine effort to finish second in the Pinnacle Stakes on Merseyside. James Fanshawe told the Punter With regard to the future, the obvious race for her is the Lancashire Oaks, but we will be taking the three-year-olds on there, so we will have a look at all options.”
