140-1 Newton Abbot four-timer for McCoy

Tony McCoy enjoyed an excellent afternoon at Newton Abbot yesterday with a near 140-1 four-timer.

The 17-times champion jockey picked up his first victory of the day in the stewards’ room as 5-2 joint-favourite Littledean Jimmy was promoted to first place in the Visit Silks Novices’ Hurdle.

The major interference between John O’Shea’s charge and My Legal Lady happened two flights from home, but the stewards felt it was enough to reverse the placings.
