Publisher's Synopsis
Beginning with the 1954 Derby, in which Lester Piggott gained his first Classic win, this is a chronicle of his 30 triumphs in English Classic races, riding celebrated horses such as Never Say Die, Crepello, Petite Etoile, St Paddy, Nijinsky, Sir Ivor, and The Minstrel. The author, who enjoyed Piggott's co-operation and guidance in compiling the book, describes the background of each winning horse, the pre-race preparation, the race itself, and the human story behind each success.
