Seriously , what a jockey , cost me a few bob when I was a bookie.
I remember him coming from last to first on Master Tern in the County Hurdle costing me £3k and another £500 when he remounted in the National that had two finishers until he and some other jock decided to remount for the place money.
He was a jock who never gave up. Remember him on a typical Pipe claimer who was fitted with tounge tie visor nose bands the works. The horse sulked for the whole 3 miles at Newton Abbott and McCoy had to ride him the whole way but he won it.
Happy retirement Tony you have earnt it
