However, he subsequently decided to resign from the jury as he wished to enter the competition himself. Laborde in fact entered two designs and finished first and third. This started a tradition of an official poster for the World Cup that has endured to the present day. Laborde studied at the Circulo Estimulo de Bellad Artes with Carlos Maria Herrerea in Buenos Aires, before travelling to Europe between 1910 and 1912 visiting Florence, Milan, Rome, Paris and Spain. On his return to South America his work was widely exhibited in Uruguay, Argentina, Peru and Ecuador and he was the winner of various art awards. In later life he became a teacher at the Circulo Estimulo de Bellad Artes, the Escuela de la Construccon and the Instituto Magisterial. Laborde also forged close links with the theatre, managing stage design at the Casa del Arte.

Graham Budd Auctions

Lot 148

The silks worn by Lester Piggott when winning the 1954 Derby at Epsom on Never Say Die, the colours of owner Mr Robert Sterling Clark, cerise & grey stripes with blue sash, quartered cap, jacket buttons inscribed Le Reussi, Paris, colour run after later washing; sold with a signed letter of provenance from the current seller (2) Never Say Die won the race at odds of 33/1, ridden by the 18 year old Lester Piggott, the youngest jockey ever to win the race. Never Say Die also won the Rossly Stakes at Ascot in 1953 and the St Leger Stakes at Doncaster in 1954. When retired the American owner Mr Robert Sterling Clark gifted the horse to the National Stud. His most famous son was Larkspur who emulated his sire by winning the Derby in 1962. Never Say Die was also sire to the 1,000 Guineas and Oaks winning filly Never Too Late. Robert Sterling Clark (1877-1956), an heir to the Singer Sewing Machine fortune, was an American horse breeder, art collector and philanthropist. Provenance: John ''Johnny'' Alfred William Goodgame (1915-1996), National Hunt jockey and trainer. The silks are offered with a signed letter of provenance from the current vendor who is the son of the National Hunt jockey and trainer Johnny Goodgame. Goodgame served his apprenticeship at Newmarket and the best horse he ever rode was Robin O'Chantry who was placed in a Champion Hurdle. He was acquainted with the Piggott family, Lester's father Keith being a licenced National Hunt trainer at the same time. A Statement in the letter reads: "The colours have been in the family as long as I can remember and my father told us that the silks were worn by Lester Piggott when he won his first Derby in 1954 and that they were an important piece of racing history and should be kept safely. Apart from the fact my father was a professional in the horse racing industry, and would have had many connections, the exact circumstances of how he acquired the Derby silks in unknown to me. When my father died in 1996 my mother washed the silks and unfortunately as a result the colours ran. My mother died in 1999 and the silks became my property."

That season he also broke Fred Archer’s 1885 record of 246 winners when riding 259 - a record he subsequently broke himself in 1947. He rode a total of 14 Classic winners but the Derby eluded him until 1953 when, one year before his retirement, he rode Pinza to victory at Epsom just after becoming the only Flat jockey to be knighted. He became a successful trainer and racing manager to patrons such as Sir Michael Sobell, Lord Weinstock and Lady Beaverbrook.
