In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the intense world of horse racing in the 1980s. The image captures a defining moment in the career of legendary jockey Lester Piggott, whose head is swathed in bandages as he makes his way to the hospital after a harrowing racing accident in April 1981. The photograph exudes raw emotion and resilience as Piggott's determination shines through despite his visible injuries. His unwavering passion for the sport is evident even amidst adversity, showcasing why he remains one of horse racing's most revered figures.
