Tony McCoy sees company profit race ahead at €540,000

Champion jockey Tony McCoy has even more reason to smile today with new accounts showing that profits at his firm last year rocketed by €540,000.

The 19-time champion jockey enjoyed his first 2015 Cheltenham win yesterday in what will be his last festival before his retirement later this year after a stellar career on the racecourse.

Figures just filed with the Companies House in the UK show that the 40-year-old’s retirement will be softened somewhat by the €2.3m profits he has accumulated at his firm.
