I hope he's stable......

86 , I thought he'd passed away a few years ago.
 
After he was sent to prison they had a terrible time getting him in the cell.
They had to blindfold him,turn him around three times and take him in backwards.
 
The greatest flat jockey of them all. Absolute legend.
Hope he pulls through.
 
Who was the only 16 stone man to ever ride a derby winner?


Lester Piggotts cell mate.

Get well soon longfellow, proper genius.
 
Met and spoke to him at Cheltenham races bout 10 yr ago....couldn't understand a fckn word.
But a proper legend he was.
RIP Lester.

And there’s me thinking that all jockeys were in 3d.
