The will Sean Bowen beat McCoy's record thread

[Truncheon]

Rode his 201st winner today, McCoy's record for a season is 289

Exactly 9 weeks of the season left

Does he beat it?

 

[Grey]

That’s ten winners a week. He won’t be managing that strike rate at Cheltenham and Aintree, which takes seven days out of the 63 left.

No, I don’t think it’s likely.

 

[Slim]

The line would be over/under 249.5.

 

[Truncheon]

A treble today

4 good rides at Ayr tomorrow, one odds on

 

[granger]

Why didn't JP go for him?

 

[Len Madeiros]

That’s ten winners a week. He won’t be managing that strike rate at Cheltenham and Aintree, which takes seven days out of the 63 left.

No, I don’t think it’s likely.

If he were really serious about the record, he’d be missing Cheltenham and Aintree to pick up easy winners elsewhere. I suspect, however, that Olly Murphy and others might be offering him plum rides at the respective festivals. He’s “freelance”, so there’s a lot to consider.

 

[Slim]

Why didn't JP go for him?

He'll replace Nico.

 

[granger]

He'll replace Nico.

Who gives him more winners?

 

[jinnyj]

He'll replace Nico.

You don't think that his brother is already earmarked for that role?

Remarkable feat whatever the amount of winners Sean Bowen ends up with this season.
Remember AP had the luxury of being able to ride at 2 meetings a day in the summer if he wanted.
