Having recorded his first winner back in 1992 at the age of 17, the 40-year-old will make his last trip down the course at Sandown. He has notched up nearly 4,350 winners, over 1,000 falls and achieved 20 straight jockey titles. McCoy has been Champion Jockey every year he has been professional; 19 consecutive titles, having smashed the previous record of seven in a row.
