Product Description
Seven-time champion jockey Tony McCoy is a phenomenon. In April 2002 he rode more winners in a season than anyone else in history, shattering the record set by the great Sir Gordon Richards fifty-five years earlier. Just four months later he rode his 1,700th winner to beat Richard Dunwoody's career record and become the greatest jump jockey in history. McCoy - A.P. to his army of fans - is in a class of his own in a sport where he risks serious injury every time he participates. In the 2000/2001 season he told no one but his physio that his ankle was broken in two places. He just strapped it up and carried on winning. Together with trainer Martin Pipe, he has changed the face of jump racing sustained on little more than sweet tea and a Jaffa cake, such is the battle to keep his weight unnaturally low. He performs feats of staggering heroism, on a diet that nutritionists would suggest is barely enough for him to stand up. In his autobiography, Tony McCoy tells the story of how the school-hating, horse-loving kid from Northern Ireland fought his way to the top, through triumph, tragedy, laughter and sacrifice.
