Early Selections


Yesterday I mentioned 14;05 Plumpton and McCoy on first time out danger against dropping to a 2 runner Dutch. Yep! He won.

I was looking through the Jockey stats earlier on. 

Tony McCoy has got his retirement season's strike rate through 30% !
No other jockey gets even close, flat,Aw, NH.
Was there ever one to match him for simply making a horse do what it had decided it couldn't? 
Well I thought down memory lane don't forget this man.



I have had the privilege of enjoying the later part of his career as well as the whole of Tony McCoy's.
Lester's quip noted in one of the biographies - after winning at the Breeders cup and being hounded by the American press (he didn't exactly have much time for them)

Good ride Lester when exactly did you know you had the race won, they demanded?           - shoving the mic's up to him has he was led in.

"Last Wednesday"
