Just been announced. Never understood much of what he said, nor did his accountants by all accounts. Lost his knighthood. But an outstanding jockey, or the outstanding jockey of his era.
RIP Lester. |  |

86 so a good race run. RIP.
"Nicknamed the Long Fellow, he was tall for a Flat jockey at nearly 5ft 8in and weighed as little as 8st 5lb." |  |

86 a fantastic age for a man whose diet in his prime consisted of cigars to keep his weight down.
Not a racing man, but he was a great jockey and a punt on a horse he was riding always in with a shout. |  |

He was never knighted. It was an OBE that was taken away when he got nicked. |  |

Some of the stories of him today have been creasing me up
For eg he got prosecuted for the tax stuff because having come to a settlement he paid them from an undeclared account.
A trainer told him a horse needed to be delivered late. Piggy went off like the clappers, 10 lengths ahead only to get nabbed on the line.
He came back to the stables, dismounted and said to the aghast trainer "huh, you were right" |  | | |

I was trying to remember his nickname and it was in the paper this morning - Housewife's Choice. |  | | |
