McCoy booked for four rides at Kempton


TONY McCOY has remained stranded on 2,998 winners since his victory aboard Stradbrook at Wincanton eight days ago and will be hoping that the weather doesn't again intervene in his quest for 3,000 career winners.


The 13-times champion jockey was left frustrated by another day fruitless day on Friday after Jonjo O'Neill withdrew his four runners at Bangor, and Warren Marston took the ride aboard his other scheduled ride, Picture In The Sky, who finished second, at the same venue.

McCoy has four confirmed rides at Kempton on Saturday but that meeting is subject to an 8am inspection and William Hill are offering 14-1 that he will ride the two required winners.

Abutilon will kick off proceedings at 2.15 in the 2m5f handicap hurdle, before McCoy partners Albertas Run in the rearranged feature Grade 2 Levy Board Chase.

Next up is That's An Idea, who is returning from a 321-day absence, before Quipe Me Posted rounds out proceedings in the 2m bumper

McCoy still on 2,998 after Kempton blank


TONY McCOY will end what might have been a history-breaking week with the same career total of winners that he started it after four fruitless rides at Kempton kept him two victories short of his 3,000th jumps success.

Third-place finishes on Albertas Run in the Levy Board Chase and Quipe Me Posted in the bumper were the best that McCoy could manage and, with all Sunday's jump racing abandoned, the 13-time champion jockey will not be able to resume riding until Monday at Plumpton.

McCoy, pursued once again by a sizeable press pack, said: "Everything is obviously now weather-permitting, but if Plumpton is on, I'll be there on Monday."

He added: "I wasn't even coming here when the meeting was due to be staged on Friday, so I wasn't expecting to ride any winners. I wasn't disappointed with Albertas Run and the bumper horse ran well, but Abutilon is a summer jumper and That's An Idea is a bit of a yoke, so I probably won't be riding him again."
