How lovely to see Lester looking happy and healthy AND with all his marbles. I never saw him so relaxed or lucid.

The attention to detail and the flawless recall, ain't that a man

[@johnchappell3042]

Only one word to sum up Lester piggott greatest yes Lester is a one off wish I could meet him it would make my life I wish you very good luck and hearth for many years to come and thank you for the joy you have given to us all from john chappell

[@Funeeman]

Lester always maintains that Sir Ivor was the best. I have never heard an interview where he says Nijinsky was the best he rode. Nijinsky beat horses that were not special. R.I.P. Lester.
