Lester Piggott is the greatest Derby jockey of all time. His nine
winners in the world's greatest race form one of the most glorious
and unassailable records in all sport, and the horses he rode to
victory include legends of the Turf such as Nijinsky, Sir Ivor, The
Minstrel and Roberto. Published to celebrate the fiftieth
anniversary of his first victory - at eighteen years old, he became
the youngest ever Derby-winning jockey on Never Say Die in 1954 -
Lester's Derbys tells the inside story of each of those famous
victories: the sheer class of Crepello, Nijinsky and Sir Ivor, the
furious finish to force Roberto to a short-head decision over
Rheingold, the dogged final-furlong battle between The Minstrel and
Hot Grove, the ease of Never Say Die, St Paddy and Teenoso, the
unexpectedness of Empery. Extensively illustrated and packed with
insight and anecdote, this is a classic racing book. The author's
first winning ride in the Derby in 1954 began a career-long affair
with the Epsom Classic and this book will be published on the 50th
anniversary of that first victory. The author will promote at
Epsom, Ascot and Newmarket and in selected bookshops in London,
Birmingham and Newmarket.
