McCoy dismisses talk of retirement when he reaches 4,000 career wins

Tony McCoy has ruled out any notion of retirement when he reaches 4,000 career wins over jumps.

The 18-times champion jockey is within touching distance of achieving the extraordinary milestone, but plans to remain in the saddle for some time yet.

McCoy said: “I want to be able to retire at the top and if I am going to do that, it will mean retiring when I am champion jockey. That won’t be easy.
