O’Neill praises real McCoy

ASTONISHING, awesome, extraordinary are just a trio of words you could use to describe the sheer power Tony McCoy produced to land Albertas Run a winner of the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham yesterday.

There have been Festivals in the not too distant past which McCoy couldn’t possibly have enjoyed, but this one will surely rank among the sweeter.

On Tuesday, he had a terrific afternoon when taking the Champion Hurdle on Binocular and to have another Grade 1 come tumbling his way was surely the icing on the cake.
