Lester Piggott Hospitalised

Lester Piggott, the greatest jockey of his or, arguably, any other generation has been admitted to intensive care in Lausanne, Switzerland, following reports of a recurrence of a heart problem.

According to Piggott’s son-in-law, trainer William Haggas, who spoke to www.telegraph.co.uk, the ‘Maestro’ is ‘conscious and coherent’. His wife, Susan and daughter Maureen are thought to be in Switzerland at Piggott’s bedside.

Piggott, 71, was admitted to hospital in the UK in December after feeling unwell but was released after five days
