Re: Horse Racing
'Unbreakable' McCoy reigns supreme.

Quote:
Tony McCoy once said "I think I'm unbreakable" - but that is certainly not a comment that applies to any riding records we have ever seen when it comes to the iron-willed magician of the saddle.
Getting to 1,000 winners in a career in Britain seemed out of reach for jump jockeys until Stan Mellor broke the mould when reaching four figures on Ouzo at Nottingham in December 1971.
So who could possibly have thought, nearly 40 years later, that figure would be quadrupled as McCoy, 39, bagged his 4,000th over jumps in Britain and Ireland.
