EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful 1970s snapshot, we see the legendary jockey Lester Piggott striking a pose with an unexpected companion - a Rocking Horse! This whimsical moment was captured in the Daily Mirror studio on February 6th, 1978. Having already triumphed in eight Derbys at that time, Piggott's reputation as one of horse racing's greatest icons preceded him. When asked to humorously pose with the toy horse, he couldn't help but crack a rare smile and quip, "I won't fall off, will I?". This photograph perfectly encapsulates both the lightheartedness and skillful nature of Piggott's career. Known for his exceptional talent and determination on real horses, it is refreshing to witness him embrace this playful opportunity. The image transports us back to an era when sports personalities were not only celebrated for their achievements but also admired for their ability to find joy in unexpected moments. It serves as a reminder that even those at the pinnacle of success can appreciate life's simple pleasures. Ley Charlie has expertly captured this unique blend of humor and sporting prowess through her lens. Her print offers horse racing enthusiasts and fans alike a glimpse into the lighter side of jockeying history while showcasing Piggott's infectious charm.
