McCoy continues record bid after scare
Tony McCoy overcame an early scare in his bid to beat Richard Dunwoody’s all-time winners record before scoring aboard Rakaposhi Lass at Newton Abbott today.
The mare made a mess of the first flight in the Pot Black Maiden Hurdle but then lived up to her odds-on billing of 1-5 favourite by running away from Winnie The Pooh.
Winning trainer Martin Pipe was at home recuperating from a recent operation on his right ankle but his wife Carol said: "A bit of a scare early on there but in the end she’s only had a school round."
