If you went into betting shops and said Lester Piggott rode the winner of the Triumph Hurdle, 99% would say rubbish. If you asked majority on here to name the horse, without googling it, very very few could.

You'd be asking said question primarily pitched to degenerates pumping cash into the crack cocaine machines, so I'd hazard a guess they wouldn't be bothered to expend the energy of a single solitary brain cell let alone afford themselves to feign some fashion of miniscule intrigue into your anachronistic poser. #KnowYourAudience |

Very true Leif. Very true.
Apologies to aaj. I thought he meant "get a grip" as everybody would know that the great Lester Piggott rode the Triumph Hurdle winner in 1954 but with hindsight, I think he probably meant that I was talking rubbish saying that Lester achieved this remarkable feat. That would make more sense. |

In March 1954 Lester Piggott won the Birdlip Hurdle at Cheltenham on Mull Sack trained by his father Keith at Lambourn.
