McCoy edges towards significant milestone

Wednesday 30 October 2013, 10:40am

Tony McCoy moved to 3,990 career winners over jumps after guiding Minella For Steak to victory at Ffos Las.

The incredible milestone is fast approaching for the perennial champion jockey after he rode five winners at Aintree over the weekend and then headed to Wales with a strong book of five rides.

After placing at his first two rides at Ffos Las, McCoy made it third-time lucky when he drove out Jonjo O'Neill's favourite Minella For Steak to a 1-3/4 length victory over Ifyouthinkso in the O'Brien And Partners Handicap Hurdle.

The jockey told At The Races: "He won all right, in fairness. He had one to aim at all the way down the back.

"The amazing thing is he coped with the heavy ground, as his wind has never been great.

"He seemed to jump better than he has in the past."
