It was a rare show of emotion from the champion as he claimed yet another milestone aboard Mountain Tunes at Towcester today.

It was very fitting that such an historic moment came in such a way. After keeping us waiting for a day or two, AP McCoy rode his 4,000th winner this afternoon, at the less than glamourous surrounds of a novice hurdle race at Towcester. That he did aboard a horse owned by his chief patron JP McManus and trained by the great Jonjo O'Neill made it even more special and JP was making sure everyone there will have a good day. Here's some great shots from the afternoon; McCoy 4000 Stunned after the race with Harry Skelton passing on his congrats McCoy 4000 1 Some champagne in the weigh room McCoy 4000 3 Andrew Thornton making fine use of that champagne McCoy 4000 cup To the victor the spoils Roll on 5,000
