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.
