McCoy milestone as he equals Pipe’s all-time winners’ record

Tony McCoy equalled Martin Pipe’s career tally of 4,191 winners with a typically powerful ride to get On The Record home first at Uttoxeter yesterday.

The record-breaking jump jockey drove the evens favourite over the line first in the 32Red On The App Store Handicap Hurdle, but only after a tough tussle with Bangkok Pete.

The 25-1 outsider pushed On the Record all the way and the race could have gone either way from the final flight.
