Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe

Ardross is right. After LP`s trial many jockey`s came forward and "voluntarily" informed the Revenue that they had not declared all their income. In Piggot`s case, he had previously been the subject of several Revenue investigations and got away with merely paying interest and penalties on his undeclared income . He had signed certificates several times saying all his income was now declared. Certificates which were blatantly false. The man is a scoundrel:D.
 
But a quite brilliant jockey . Piggott insisted that the story that he paid his tax bill with a cheque from an account he had not disclosed was apocryphal but Peter O’Sullevan’s spice was no less than HM herself.
