EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1970s, a time when horse racing was at its peak and jockeys were hailed as heroes. The legendary Lester Piggott is seen striking a pose with an unexpected companion - a Rocking Horse. Taken in the Daily Mirror studio on February 6th, 1978, shortly after Piggott's remarkable eighth Derby win, the image captures his infectious charm and playful spirit. As he gingerly mounts the Rocking Horse, there is a twinkle in his eye that suggests both amusement and skepticism. When asked to pose for this unconventional shot, Piggott couldn't resist asking with a mischievous grin: "I won't fall off will I?". This photograph beautifully encapsulates not only Piggott's extraordinary talent as one of horse racing's greatest jockeys but also his endearing personality that endeared him to fans worldwide. It serves as a reminder of those rare moments when even sporting legends allow their guard down and share genuine smiles. Ley Charlie has masterfully captured this iconic moment in sports history through his lens. This print is more than just an image; it is an invitation to relive the glory days of horse racing and celebrate the indomitable spirit of Lester Piggott – forever etched into our hearts as one who conquered both real horses and imaginary ones alike!
