Synchronised was in the biggest race of them all.“There’s a lot of horses I wouldn’t have minded another go on, but I wouldn’t have liked to have been having another go on Synchronised and been trying to do the same again.“Probably that’s not even close for JP and if I said what was the second best he’d be even less happy – maybe Pridwell, when he beat Istabraq because he beat the best hurdler there was in his prime.“It was two and a half miles at Aintree on soft ground, but he still beat him. If I looked back and thought ‘I should have done another year, I should have done another year’, I’d still be riding.“I knew after winning 15 jockeys’ championships that it was possible if I stayed in one piece I could win another five, but every sportsperson has a time limit. He will continue until almost certainly becoming champion jockey for the 20th consecutive occasion at the end of the season with no crucial races, such as the Grand National, Gold Cup and Champion Hurdle, missing from his CV.
JP was the only other person I had spoken to. I get that Ryan Moore or Frankie Dettori are not going to be involved in the jockeys’ championship, they’re involved in an international business, they’re working for international operations.“But in terms of jumps racing, every young jockey riding over jumps should want to be champion jockey.
“I want to go out at the top, I want to go out as champion jockey and it will be my 20th year if I can win the jockeys’ championship. There’s a very good chance if I had another go I’d end up not winning.”McCoy firmly believes being champion one day is something every up-and-coming rider should aspire to over jumps.He said: “It should be every young jump jockey’s dream – I get that Flat racing is a little different.
“I want to go out while I still enjoy riding and am still relatively at the top.” McCoy went out to ride in the main race, but fell at the first hurdle on Goodwood Mirage before explaining his decision further. I rode my fastest 150th winner and was well ahead of where I was in 2002 when I rode 289 winners.“Then I got injured at Worcester.
I’d have Synchronised ahead of him in the Gold Cup.
The Ulsterman, 40, had revealed his decision to only two people by early last week – his jockeys’ agent Dave Roberts and JP McManus, the Irish multimillionaire owner who retains McCoy to ride his substantial string of horses – before even telling his wife, Chanelle. “He’s just brilliant – what makes Ronaldo?
He’s tough, competitive and so brave.” Weighing room colleague Ruby Walsh said: “It sounds a strange thing to say for someone so good, but I’ll definitely miss riding against him.
He was also appointed an OBE.
The only thing the script got wrong that afternoon on April 25, 2015 at Sandown is that the Jonjo O’Neill-trained gelding did not win.For winning is was what McCoy did best – 4,348 times over jumps in Britain and Ireland to be exact, plus another 10 on the Flat.Born in County Antrim in 1974, McCoy broke virtually every record there was to be broken – and his iron will meant he bounced back from every adversity injury tried to throw at him along the way.He won all the races that mattered and was crowned champion jockey 20 times – every year he was a professional.McCoy said: “It’s very difficult to believe it is five years – some days I think it goes slowly, but on the whole it’s good and I’m very lucky.“I’m one of those very lucky people who got to do what I loved forever, and in terms of my riding career I got the perfect ending.
Champ. Sun 26 Apr 2020. Anthony Peter McCoy, universally known as 'AP’ has obliterated virtually ever record possible, from the quickest and highest amounts of winners achieved during a National Hunt season, to his career total, which stands at more than 4,000.
AP McCoy has ridden more than 4,300 winners during a record-breaking career.
