Harsh Thakor

Greatest Jockey ever whose judgement of pace and finish was sheer genius unequaled in the sport.Gordon Richards was greater statistically but could never equal Lester who understood his mounts like a mother understood her child.His riding on Ribero in the 1968 St.Leger,Roberto in the 1972 Epsom Derby and Alleged in the 1978 Prix De L'Arc De Triomphe have been unsurpassed in race-riding history.The maestro will be 70 tomorrow on November 8th and let us all wish him a grand 70th birthday.
