AP McCoy to Retire At End of Season

I'm not really into horse racing but the mans achievements are incredible, to dominate any sport for that long requires commitment of the highest order, chapeau
 
you never say never in life but no-one is going to get to 3000, let alone 4k, and the physical toils of being a jump jockey are ridiculous, his natural body weight is 11 stone plus so he has to starve and sit in saunas half the week to get his weight down but then has to have the strength to push a half a ton horse round 3 miles of a racetrack and then sometimes be thrown to the ground at 35mph when said horse falls.

An incredible sporting acheievement, fergie-esque, I'll be telling my grandkids I saw McCoy ride, he should get another BBC sports personality award.
 
I read he has fallen with horse over a 1,000 times. Even though he has broke nearly everything in his body its astonishing the number of wins he has.

Side note caveat: Does ride the best horses.

The amount of time he has won when he shouldn't have due to his incredible will to win and brilliant riding skills, racing will be a worser place without him next year
