1993 Agent to Lester Piggott, just for a few weeks!   Lester rang me during the winter from Hong Kong and asked me to work for him after my parting with Willie. I had already committed to commentating but managed to book a winner for him in a seller and also a decent ride in the 2,000 Guineas which was quite pleasing. A good way to end my agenting career!
