Very well written biography by Dick Francis who obviously knew Lester Piggot very well.
I learnt quite a few things about Lester that I didnt know. Some good detailed passages on the horses Lester rode and knew.
If youve an interest in the man or the sport then this is a recommended read

Horse racing has been called the sport of kings and it took tough, wiry men to compete as jockies. Lester Piggott was one of these men and this is the story of his career.

I'm a Dick Francis junkie. I believe I read all of his mysteries in order. Still remember being at loose ends for a bit after I finished the last one. Stumbled on this years later and quite enjoyed it. My daughter is a horsewoman (although she deplores thoroughbred racing) so I try to do some reading in this category. Would definitely recommend for the Dick Francis fan, or anyone who wants to know a little more about racing.

Yes, I enjoyed Francis' writing so much that I read his biography of a jokey I'd never heard of. And I liked it.
