AP McCoy At The Races highlights

[@jamesyoung5699]

For some reason , I watched this and holding back tears.Firstly , C.B.E. Tony better stay well , or gets a feed bucket thrown at him. And firstly , as thrust , through unimaginable hard work into public spotlight , we can all judge a personality of course.So , my reading , is a young lad from very humble upbringing , trying to be a jockey - something he wanted to do and succeed for himself and family.This against impoverishment that he saw all around , growing up.A dream many had.But to do it , in such a career , is to me testimony to the latency of people never given a chance.Courage has roots in inordinate places. And let it be said , the racing game is riven , historically , with effects of bad politics too to be frank.This goes for owners , trainers and others. A person with a nature we all know and respect , typical of the romance of horse racing.He is like The Pie of a whole era that marked reality. Saw him , not long before retirement , on a horse at a midweek track.I thought he was merely a hard work product from a winner factory , wondering what the fuss was about.And rode a horse called ( something like Fils des Aires ) and won.I could simply not believe ( better than the late Wichita Lineman ride ) what he done on that animal to win.Astonishing.From there , I knew this jockey was remarkable indeed , in my perception.Then I considered the absurdity of 20 odd championship wins.Its unbelievable.But this is a very very real Mc.Coy.A notch in history. Bravery very understated.Showed how much racing can give to those who deserve it.Seems a real quiet , personable and family fellow. Champion sport found its champion. To C.B.E. M.cCoy - "that's life" !

The Champ.

[@thetruth3768]

This is the best type of horse racing, nothing better than cross-country.

[@silenusut]

He was a great race-rider. On the other hand, as a commentator with itv... you see\hear close up the sharp-tongue: he really does not like opposition

[@Marjopolo302]

If half the soccer players today had 00000.1 of APs drive, ....and passion...

[@jamesyoung5699]

In addition , would like to say , alphabetically , JFrancome was horseman , JO'Neil was a natural , PScudamore was a very strong jockey.Remember , many owners come in to the game , for interest or to invest etc. but without such logic defying human attributes , that sport is nominal.Transport today , in parallel to human evolvement , was bourne out of horses mostly.These horseracing stable staff and jockeys are absolute transformers.And they have maintained the essential relativity , in a technological era , between the public and the country.Dont forget that.

2 time champion jockey?! sort it out ATR, jeeeeezz!

[@vireshpatel2349]

Of all the info u can get on a race card, the racing post used to highlight his initials AP whenever he was riding, even though his name would be on anyway: as if to warn punters if they weren’t on his horse, they’d should keep their fingers crossed 😁.. no other jockey has had his initials highlighted in that way... after a while, they stopped putting it in: probably gave up😄😄

[@devpatel7154]

Damn 😂🔥

[@thetruth3768]

You are a mo-ron

[@moomoo3031]

@Kath Beck how do you know this? I don't want to believe that, or that dogs are skinned alive in countries for fur and meat...why would they do that? why would PETA love them...Im confused

[@moomoo3031]

yeah, I get tired of watching horses get hit with crops, but I think its more on the saddlepad maybe, for the noise? I hope so anyway, but it always looks like the horse is running his heart out to begin with and whipping them seems unnecessary to me to. but WTF do I know...
