He has fallen an estimated 1,000 times from horses weighing half a tonne, travelling at speeds of up to 30mph.

 

"He is made of concrete - they don't make people like AP McCoy any more

He is certainly a class act. I got a treble on him at Cartmel last year, two favorites and a real long odds outsider.

 

Many years ago used to attend Cartmel with a big group of locals. One mate had a lad called Zak whou would have been about six at the time. His father didnt like McCoy and every time he fell on TV they both shouted " On the deck McCoy". Fine in the safety of your living room.

 

We were near the top fence in the paddock, Zak was on another friends shoulder, right next to the rail. McCoy had a shocking fall and stuffed into the ground really badly. The whole crowd made the usual sympathetic noises apart from one little voice. From about ten feet away....

 

On the deck McCoy. My mate was a little embarrassed and shuffled of shouting " Hes not mine...... honest" :lol:
