Lester's lottery is in full swing

IT is British racing's oldest guessing game, and it is about to be played again with all the same gusto and enthusiasm as it has been for the past 40 years - what does Lester ride in the Derby? The ball started bouncing again at Goodwood last Tuesday when Lester Piggott partnered the Richard Hannon-trained Geisway to a thrilling, last-stride victory in the ''last chance'' Derby trial, the Predominate Stakes.

Coming from four lengths off the pace with half a mile to travel, Piggott angled Geisway to the outside in the final furlong and then, pouncing late and fast, got up in the shadows of the post to beat Beneficial, the 4-6 favourite, by a short head.
