Question

Who do you think the top 3 jockeys of all time are? (thoroughbred)?

Answer 4

Answer 5

Lester Piggott has to be in the top 3, along with Sir Gordon Richards.

Not too sure about the third though.

Update - just to update you guys who may not know who I am referring to: Sir Gordon Richards is often considered to be the greatest jockey EVER.  He rode 4,870 winners and is the only jockey ever to have been knighted.  Bear in my mind he rode this number of winners between 1921 and 1954, a time when there was not racing every single day.  He was also champion jockey 26 times.

Frankie is good, but he's no Lester.
