Tony McCoy reached the milestone of 3,000th jumps win of his career

Tony McCoy reached the milestone of 3,000th jumps win of his career aboard Restless D’Artaix in the 1620 GMT to round off a dramatic day’s racing at Plumpton.

Having led throughout in the 1510 to win on Hello Moscow the 13-time champion jockey started the day on the 2,998 mark and without a win in 11 days and should have claimed his achievement with a win aboard Miss Sarenne in the 1545, only to fall at the last while leading.

Nevertheless he claimed his historic win on Restless D’Artaix.

“It’s great, a relief I guess,” said the Northern Irishman after the victory, secured amid awful conditions at a cold and wet Plumpton.

“It’s not something I’m going to play down – I am ecstatic. All 3,000 winners have taken a lot of hard work.
