Horse racing legend Lester Piggot has passed away aged 86
Lester Piggott, the record-breaking former champion jockey, has passed away at the age of 86.
Piggott’s daughter, Maureen, is married to Newmarket trainer William Haggas, with both Maureen and the jockey’s son, Jamie, flying to Switzerland to visit him before he sadly passed away. He has another daughter, Tracy, who is a sports presenter for RTE in Ireland. In his heyday, Piggott was one of the world’s most famous sporting stars and told Racing Post in 2015: “I think a lot of older people still remember me.Top jockey Piggott was well acquainted with racing lover and horse owner Queen Elizabeth II“I’m probably famous to them, but the younger ones wouldn’t really know who I am. Time goes by. A lot of people wouldn’t know me now.”
Tom Marquand rode one of Haggas’ horses, Alenquer, to glory in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at Curragh on Sunday, while another, four-year-old colt Baaeed, won the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury earlier in May.A statue of Piggott stands proud at Epsom Racecourse – the venue of his most famous victories
