McCoy bags double Fakenham wins

McCoy rode You Know Birdie to second place in his first ride at Fakenham

Tony McCoy added two more winners to his growing list of more than 3,000 jump-racing successes at Fakenham racecourse in Norfolk on Friday.

The 13-time Champion Jockey rode home 7-4 favourite Forty Five in the 2.55, and 5-4 favourite Cunning Clarets in the final race of the day.

In the day's feature race, the first of the day, Cool Roxy made course history with a record 11th Fakenham win.

McCoy was in top form all day, with second place in his other three rides.

The Irishman recently became the first jump jockey ever to make the magic mark of 3,000 winners, and he told BBC Radio Norfolk that Fakenham had played its part in his success.

"Fakenham's been a lucky track for me over the years. I've had plenty of winners here and a pretty good strike-rate - I think it's about 36%.

"If you could have that at any track then you'd be very happy as a jockey - the one little disappointing thing is it's not too close to where I live [in Berkshire]," he said.

"But if you keep having winners at a racecourse then you get to like it that little bit more," he added.
