McCoy shines with Folkestone hat-trick

Tony McCoy lit up a cold afternoon at Folkestone and showed just why he is champion jockey with a fine treble that exhibited his skill in the saddle to full effect.

He produced a dominant performance on Reveillez (30-100 favourite) in the Folkestone-racecourse.co.uk Beginners’ Chase, leading at the last to beat Pardishar by an easy two lengths, with Its Wallace Jnr 14 lengths back for the minor honours.
