Lester Keith Piggott (born 1935) was an English jockey, considered to be the best of his generation and one of the greatest flat jockeys of all time.
Piggott won his first race in 1948. During the course of his career, he won nine Epsom Derbies. After he retired from riding horses, he was knighted and became a racehorse trainer. In 1987 he was jailed for tax irregularities and stripped of his knighthood, but resumed his career as a trainer following his release from jail. He retired in 1995.
