I always liked the old Lester Piggot story, probably apocryphal, but it's worth bearing in mind if you're betting the geegees. He was asked to ride a 2yo at Newmarket a few weeks before Royal Ascot, it was making it's debut and he was asked to give it a 'quiet' ride, a gentle introduction to racing,...

I can still remember him going card daft in the second half of a Burnley v Hull game in the 14/15 season, it was quite bizarre, 10 yellows virtually all for no good reason, none that was apparent anyway, it wasn't a dirty game and was being played in a good spirit by both teams.
