LONDON, April 2: Jump jockey Tony McCoy broke one of the greatest records in British horse racing when he steered Valfonic to victory in the fifth race at Warwick on Tuesday.
It was the 270th success of the season for McCoy, which put him one ahead of Sir Gordon Richards’ s seemingly insurmountable total that was amassed in 1947.
It was the third win of the afternoon for McCoy who started the day on 267.
