The legendary 20-time champion jockey, who rode Don’t Push It to victory in the world famous race in 2010, provides the inside track on the J P McManus-owned challengers
Legendary jockey Sir AP McCoy enjoyed one of his greatest moments in the saddle when he won the 2010 Grand National on Don’t Push It after 14 failures at Aintree.
Although McManus’s number one jockey Mark Walsh has picked the mare Limerick Lace as his partner, McCoy prefers the chances of one of the Willie Mullins runners. “Mark Walsh has chosen Limerick Lace which might be a tip itself and she has a chance too, so it looks like J P has some really solid chances this year.
“There was a lot of satisfaction, but there was a huge amount of relief that I’d managed to win the Grand National.
