JOCKEY Tony McCoy will have to wait until Chepstow tomorrow at the earliest for his 4,000th winner after drawing a blank with three rides at Exeter this afternoon.
McCoy - who remains on a remarkable 3,998 career wins - was narrowly denied in the opening novice hurdle on Flemenson by the Hadden Frost-ridden Rydon Pynes
In the following race his mount, Keen Eye, never looked like getting among the winners at any stage.
Well Hello There, his third ride of the day, was held back by a bad blunder just before the home straight and was ultimately well beaten.
McCoy has two booked rides at the Welsh venue tomorrow — the Rebecca Curtis-trained El Macca in the R.A.B.I. Gateway Project Maiden Hurdle and Jonjo O’Neill’s Mission Complete, who could be appropriately named should he land the NFU Mutual Supports R.A.B.I. Handicap Hurdle.
