RIP Lester Piggot.

[WBA1955]

Not being a fan of horse racing, the two things I remember him most for was going to Wrexham with the Albion in 1971, the Watney cup. We went into a pub and they had horse racing on. Lester's horse had unseated him and ran off before the race and he was trying to catch it in a Landrover. That and being jailed for tax evasion.
He always looked like he was sucking a lemon 🍋.
Bye old chap, I guess someone else will p iss the money you saved up a wall.

From your first sentence I thought that you meant that he had travelled to Wrexham with the Albion fans!

I detest horse racing but Piggott was clearly an all time great in that particular pastime! I suppose one could say that he was unlucky in being sent to prison for tax evasion when so many others have escaped that fate (numerous politicians and Harry Redknapp, allegedly).

For me gambling can be worse than drinking too much! Its not difficult to understand why that Coates woman who owns BET365 is the richest woman in the country ( well maybe second to Mrs Non Dom Sunak )

Even Becker being sent to prison in my eyes was really harsh! It's OK for w ankers like Amazon and others to tax dodge but if it's an individual then the book is thrown at them! So wrong!
