R.I.P. Lester, I only read yesterday he was supposed to be coming out of hospital this week, so this comes as a shock.
Probably one of the reasons I took an interest in horse racing. There was great rivalry between him and Willie Carson as well in that era.
I guess he did very well to live until 86 surviving on cigars and champagne for a lot of his life. The struggles of a flat jockey in those days.
