They'll put him on a course of meds and whip him into shape.

 

Or he'll flatline.

If he survives he is must for the 2023 list. Partly because of his status but partly because otherwise unless someone gets I’ll it could be a few decades until someone else of similar status in horse racing is eligible,

QO.

Very sad but inevitable after last weeks news.His record of 9 Derbys will never be beaten.

My first hit not the way I wanted to get of the mark. He was simply the greatest jockey.

RIP Lester.

Wasn’t extremely old nor have a known illness that looked fatal. It was just luck he died on a year when he was not on the list.

Was running through possible MMMDP picks this morning and Lester was about Fourth on the list

Because only English jockeys matter?

 

You need to read flippancy into nearly every response of mine on this Forum that isn't truly a death or deep sorrow.

Oddly enough he popped into my head in the same context while I was waking up this morining.

Very sad news.  He was unique, a true icon.

You are only saying that because he had previously appeared on the Deathlist.  In fact there was never a good reason for him to be a DL pick as he was always fit and healthy at the time.

His illness was brief and it was only made known a few days ago.

He's had heart problems for years once you're on that path you're always vulnerable.
