would be great if he could do it during the Cheltenham Open meeting in three weeks , there is no Premier League football that weekend so he'd get the publicity he deserves.

Brilliant effort on  Josie's Orders this afternoon - he also found time to pose for about 4,000 photographs at Aintree!

Anthony Peter McCoy OBE (born 4 May 1974), commonly known as A. P. McCoy or Tony McCoy, is a horse racing jockey from Northern Ireland who is based in England.
McCoy recorded his first win in 1992 at just 17 years of age. McCoy is now closing in on a landmark 4000 winners, considerably more than any other National Hunt jockey past or present. McCoy has ridden over 2,000 more winners than now retired jockey Richard Dunwoody who rode 1,699 winners during his career.
McCoy has been Champion Jockey every year he has been professional. Even in his first season riding in Britain, as an apprentice for now retired trainer Toby Balding, McCoy won the Conditional Jump Jockeys Title with a record 74 winners for a conditional jockey. McCoy claimed his first Champion Jockey title in 1995/6 and, as of 2012/2013, has won 18 consecutive Champion Jockey titles, beating the previous record of 7 consecutive titles by Peter Scudamore.
McCoy is considered the perennial champion jockey and is often referred to as simply 'the Champ' or his initials 'AP' by weighing room colleagues, punters, commentators and racing journalists alike.
McCoy has won almost every big race there is to win. His most high profile winners include the prestigious Cheltenham Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle, Queen Mother Champion Chase, King George VI Chase and the 2010 Grand National, riding Don't Push It.
McCoy has had a number of injuries since becoming a jump jockey, one of the many occupational hazards that comes with race riding. McCoy has broken or dislocated almost every bone in his body (some of them multiple times), including a middle and lower vertebrae, both shoulder blades, ribs, an ankle, cheekbones, a wrist, a leg, collar bone, fingers and teeth.
McCoy was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2010, becoming the first jockey to win the award.[1]

don't bother with the gaff tracks so won't be looking in.

How many winners do you think he should have ridden? 8,000? 16,000?

I backed the runner up to Josie's Orders today, if you don't think it was a good ride, I can't help you.

Number of winners doesn't mean you're the greatest.

Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?, ride as many winners as I can because I'm obsessed with riding winners and making as much money as I can.

Tony McCoy is just 11 winners away from the magical 4,000 over jumps after a double on Eastlake and Deadly Sting at Aintree.

The 18-times champion took another step closer to yet another record-breaking achievement with a brace for trainer Jonjo O'Neill that again illustrated his talents in the saddle.

Fresh from a treble on Saturday, he enjoyed a smooth success in the Weatherbys Hamilton Insurance Handicap Chase on Eastlake, owned by his boss JP McManus, after first Stagecoach Pearl and then Boxer Beat exchanged pacemaking duties.

In the seventies W A Stephenson & Gordon Richards allegedly used to meet in the bar pre-race to discuss whose horse would win a particular race. In the eighties & nineties M C Pipe pulled more strokes than chavman ( the biggest whanker on the forum!)


And in the naughties, and more recently the ''Boys in Blue'' & Coolmore Mafia allegedly get up to all sorts of chicanery...  the point being you can't kick out / ban big powerful stables for without them there'd be no racing...   hth !

Let me see if I have understood you,Halucinating Days.
You are stating that as it has been done before (and without doubt you are correct)it perfectly reasonable for the Champion Jockey to "Strangle" horses to order ?
