Lester: The Official Biography

The
private story of the world's most famous jockey. Lester Piggott, by the world's
most famous writer of racing thrillers. The inside story of the figure that
racegoers have cheered for thirty-seven years, yet hardly know. The unpublished
facts behind the punishments for rough riding in his youth, and the truth about
the accusations of stealing other jockey's mounts. Lester has never defended
himself against untrue press reports, and because of his reticence, been much
misunderstood. This book sets the record straight.
