Five vintage jockeys' jackets

Five vintage jockeys' jackets, colours comprising: red with green braces, the inside collar label inscribed PIGGOTT; yellow & black check, white sleeves, the label inscribed L. SMITH; red & light blue halved, the label inscribed RENSHAW; maroon & pink halved, the label inscribed RENSHAW; & blue with a white Cross of Lorraine and sleeves, the label inscribed L.K. LESTER These colours came from Peter Ashworth's Epsom stables that closed in the early 1980s. There appear to be two references to Lester Piggott, and presumably he wore these particular silks in races. Peter Ashworth began training at Epsom in the mid-1950s having been a jockey for some 20 years. His greatest success came with the filly Lady Senator who won the Irish 1,000 Guineas in 1961.
