Lester Piggott's Height
5ft 7 (170.2 cm)
English Jockey. In his riding days he was described as 5ft 7 although by age 75 when this photo was taken had lost height.
5ft 8 Rob and Lester (1935 - 2022) @ Sportsmania 2011 If you're as tall as I am, 5ft 7in, you've got to work out your own method. There weren't any models for tall jockeys like me in my time. Gordon Richards was small even as jockeys go: he could do eight stone without effort. There's an advantage in being tall, big: I think it's my main one. A horse responds to a good weight on its back, live weight - not dead weight, lead, under the saddle - to make up the right scale. When a biggish jockey gets up, the chances are that the horse feels, well, authority.-- The Observer, 2005 Average Guess (15 Votes)
