Piggott returns to the saddle in Tipperary

IT’S like old times back on the racing gallops of Co Tipperary. A jockey with the name of Piggott is working astride magnificent thoroughbreds.

The greatest English jockey of all time, Lester Piggott, has sent his only son to the Golden Vale to learn the skills that won him all the great classics.

Jamie Piggott has moved over to the stables of Tommy Stack at Thomastown Castle Stud, near Golden.
