He’ll batter a horse to first past the post in a novice chase on a cold, wet Tuesday afternoon in Wetherby but he routinely fails to deliver on the big stage. It’s easy to win when the other horses and jockeys aren’t mentally tuned in and up for it.
The great Ruby Walsh then comes along and outperforms him when it really, really matters.
Sure McCoy has won a couple of big Aintree and Cheltenham races but that’s more down to the law of averages than anything else. He also cried when a horse of his fell at Cheltenham a few years ago.
In conclusion, a small man for the small occasion.
Best suited to Stratford on a wet January Tuesday.
Not fit for the big stage.
Sure if I traipsed the lenght of England, wales , Scotland and Northern Ireland 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year I’d have as many winners as him, probably more in fact.

What a begrudging cunt of a post. Let the man retire in peace FFS
[QUOTE=“Bandage, post: 1104667, member: 9”]Vastly overrated.
Only 30 Cheltenham winners in over 2 decades.

Is it possible that your talking through your pocket as well as your hole?
Not his fault that he’s been riding a fair few overrated donkeys on the biggest stage. Have a look on youtube at some of those wins and you’ll realise that
some of those cheltenham wins would not have got up with anyone else on board.
