Lester Piggott won the Epsom Derby nine times and became the youngest ever to win the event in 1954 at the tender age of 18. He rode to victory 5,300 times in more than 30 countries during his 47 years in the saddle. When he was eventually released from prison for Tax evasion he came out of retirement and scored a famous victory in the Breeders' Cup Mile in America. Aged 56, he claimed the 2,000 Guineas in 1992 on Rodrigo de Triano - his 30th British Classic win. Piggott eventually retired in 1995, although he took part in a special race at the Melbourne Cup meeting in 2001.
