Original titleA Jockey's Life: The Biography of Lester Piggott
He started racing at the age of twelve--and won over 4,000 English races. Now Francis gives the whole story of Lester Piggott's life--the deafness which caused the press to call him distant, his fight to lose the weight to compete, and the greed, corruption and danger of the track as only Francis can convey.
