billyg Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 I was never a horsey man , but I remember watching the Derby in 1970 and his incredible finish on Nijinsky when he was 6th or 7th with just over a furlong to run ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My granny must have placed more bets on horses that he rode than any other jockey so I don’t think her 2 Bob Bets would have lost her much money. As she was disabled , racing in TV became her thing and filled her days with Lester as her go to rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
