Tony McCoy winning just another race...

One of Tony McCoy's more 'unusual' wins back in January 2002, and the first race ever won at odds of 999:1 on Betfair. (see... www.guardian.co... )
The Feast of St. Raymond Novices' Steeple Chase at Southwell was, as McCoy himself said... "not only the most extraordinary race I've ever won, it's probably one of the most extraordinary races ever run." Read the full story at www.telegraph.c...

The Feast of St Raymond Novices Chase! St Raymond must be the patron saint of bad jumpers. Thanks for posting that race, been wanting to see it for years. Any chance you could upload the full race minus the music? The Racing Post summarised the race as ' A farce of a race which defies analysis' Not surprisingly Eaux Les Coers was switched to hurdles for her next race which she promptly won, though sadly died later that year. Well done A.P. on a truly remarkable achievement. 3000 not out!

[@azertyuiop32]

cant understand why people slag mccoy off. the guy is a magnificent jockey with a will to win that is second to none.

[@Richardhobson78]

I very much remember this you guys as i came down at the 2nd on the grey mare called Star Control, they caught the horse but not me as i was already back in the weighing room. ( Good old McCoy) Richard Hobson.

[@JohnMcMahon.]

*Absolute Legend*.. A.P. McCoy, we salute you.

[@kajamix]

My record is when three trolley buses broke down in succession, in one single journey across town. "Please change bus" three times.

[@vixitrixalina]

i love how this commentator just begins to laugh as he talks - that's just one unlucky race! i reckon these horses all planned this - the first 5 all fell/ unseated in a similar way, then the number 6 horse refused attempted to refuse twice, then Red Radish followed suit, then the final horse chucks his jockey off! the fact that none of them got injured is amazing! im sure they all thought this through... talking in the parade rings ought to be avoided methinks! haha XD well done McCoy xxx

[@scrishton]

I am really sorry to hear that. My condolences to all his friends.

[@tigerarmyrule]

That shows the magic of McCoy. The sheer will to win.

[@conorg446]

obviously 4 people dont have a clue what a spectacular race that was!

[@The_Capri_Kid]

Unfortunately the race was too long ago to download from ATR, & yes, Family Business was AP's mount in this race.

[@bobbybox111]

I had a 'large bet' even though it was only 8/11 on this horse and I almost threw my ticket away. But I couldnt stop laughing when one by one they fell, refused or pulled up and Family Business sauntered home alone. Has to be my luckiest bet / winnings ever.

[@alfriendo2008]

Tony McCoy= Absolute Legend. Good luck today to all connections of Binocular.

[@alfriendo2008]

Still a legend with out doubt....but thought he got it wrong today with Binocular. Should have at the very least beaten Celestial Halo whom he had thrashed twice albiet under different conditions...Should have pressed the GO button well before the last. Still the man who never made a mistake never made anything. Aintree next stop where he will win with the legend on top.

[@martinh103]

@Richardhobson78 good to see you seeing the funny side to this race, even tho you fell.

[@kajamix]

Mc Coy is unseated, just like the rest of them. How can he possibly be allowed to remount and reenter the race ? Is n't that against the rules of racing ?

[@dailystar1]

hahah quality mate..im a mad fan off jump racing and i used to follow you a bit! ...i used to think you were well worth ya (7lb) claim...whats happening at the mo u still riding??

[@ladbrokes2007]

i hope he wins a grand national ,.

[@MrConnolly25]

@azertyuiop32 the mans will to win and absolute inability to accept defeat is trully inspirational of all the great rides i have seen his ride on wichita lineman at the festival a few years ago was incredible even the commentater was astonished he forced it home racing fans will only realise how great a jockey he is when he goes which is a great shame.thankfully he at least won sports personality of the year

[@Richardhobson78]

Bloodstock for french horses now, i bought the likes of Hurricane Fly, Iris De Balme, Pomme Tiepy, Golden Silver that you might know.

[@cjn880lcfc]

This was a real race! Just edited to show the most exciting camera angles.

[@TooDarnSoulful]

fancy that tony....finishes on horse number 1 ...legend!

[@jonners69]

@redryano18 its a fine example of APs perseverenve and resilience.

[@dailystar1]

yes..i remember them...Pomme Tiepy won his 4 or 5 chases didnt he as a novice?.

[@scrishton]

@redryano18 No, it's quite real. Obviously edited a bit to show each fall from different angles, but it was a real race.

[@comeonshaymen]

@kajamix No, remounting is totally allowed. Its very rare, say, 1 in million, but in the 2001 GN 3 horses remounted, Blowing Wind, who finished 3rd, Papillon, who was 4th, and Lance Armstrong (it doesnt mention him in the commentart cos he's so far behind) who fell again. Watch it, great race

[@Skelex20]

xD This is brilliant

[@revilo412]

5 live brought me here... = ]

[@bobwilsonanchorman]

He sent me here too FIGHTING TALK

[@scrishton]

@KautoMassiniman I would say that while AP is clearly a fantastic sportsman, I wouldn't call him a 'personality'. But it seems that 293152 people think he is!

[@dailystar1]

i got the forcast this day cos only one finished

[@xxthoroghbredsxx6862]

skill!

[@hassanammad650]

[@jageiosjgaeiojg]

Cornelius Lysaght sent me here.

[@davyboy232]

this wouldnt happen today as remounting in a race is no longer allowed in england

[@snozzlehead92]

Shame. Easy money when fallers go to 1000 odds on Betfair.

[@marshancars]

games corrupt from top to bottom

[@jonners69]

@redryano18 NO! haha!

[@DeathKitty123456]

Family business has the worst clip i have ever seen xD what is that crap lol, its not a blanket, trace or full clip... Think the trainer needs a new stable hand xD

[@comeonshaymen]

@dailystar1 Just lettign you know, Pomme Tiepy is a she
