Not going to be a hypocrite ..not a McCoy fan but hope him a speedy recovery,i suppose as others have hinted,maybe time now to slow things down and hand pick his rides.
Hes got a wife and baby now and hes won enough titles!!!
But get well soon Tony
Is it true that he has a broken bone in his back?
They thought he might miss cheltenham, but i think he will be back.
Hope he recovers asap!Echoing FoF’s sentiments (and boy does that feel weird!
), Cheltenham just wouldn’t be the same without AP.All the best.
Someone as driven as McCoy can only retire from race riding when they’re actually ready to do so, that’s why I was so concerned that this may have been the case yesterday. It’s about more than just winning championships. This may be the start of a mental process whereby he starts to consider retirement.
Friend of mine had a nasty fall from my horse doing XC, she fractured x2 bones lower back,…was in hospital 2weeks , and then home rest for 6wks, heal times vary from person to person , and im sure AP will be eager to get back riding as soon as able to do so… Best wishes to him
This is McCoy we’re talking about – he’ll be at the festival. Normal recovery estimates are for mere mortals, and don’t apply to AP.

If he hand picked his rides, he’s hardly likely to turn down a ride on the favourite for a valuable h’cap chase.
Horse had never fallen under rules and jumped well to win its last three.A lot of it is mind over matter, and if you are fit in the first place and determined to get back, you can push those limits. The 6 wks will be a general timeline for your average non-fit person who isn’t in a rush to get back. If you’re fit, your body will heal quicker and you can push yourself sooner. The Festival is at least 8 weeks away, barring complications I can easily see him being back and good luck to him.

Amen to that.
Lingfield i was just talking in general..not to the last hour,min and second till he fell.
Feel free to pick the bones of that statement !
