Lester Piggott is expected to remain in hospital in London for a "few more days" after being admitted over the weekend. One of the sport's all-time great figures, Piggott, 83, was reported to be "in good shape" by his daughter Maureen Haggas, wife of Classic-winning trainer William Haggas. Haggas told the Racing Post her father would be having routine tests, adding: "He'll be in for a few more days, but was taken in as a precautionary measure. He's in good shape considering he's been abusing his body since he was 16." Piggott - who had a spell in intensive care in 2007 in a Swiss hospital with a heart complaint - won the Derby a remarkable nine times.
