Racing: McCoy hits the 100-mark

Monday, 6 November 2000 17:44

Tony McCoy beat Richard Johnson to the 100-winner mark this season by completing an 11-1 double at Carlisle today. The champion jockey and his biggest rival both started the day on 99 winners for the campaign but Johnson drew a blank at Fontwell. Both winners were trained by Jonjo O'Neill, Knockdoo justifying 3-1 favouritism in the J. Noble Promotions Car Boot Fair Handicap Hurdle and Strahan Cross completing a hat-trick in the Cheltenham & Three Counties Club Handicap Chase. (PA)
