Tomorrow (Saturday) proves to be an interesting day where Tony McCoy will be facing a stiff task while looking for his 3,000th jumps winner at Sandown. The reason for the interest in the race lies in the fact that one of his three mounts has been declared a non-runner for the race.

AP was rather unhappy with the abandoning of the meeting on Friday at Chepstow. However he will still move on to Esher where he aims to get two wins from two remaining rides.

Moreover, McCoy’s other mount; Afrad has been eliminated from the four million pound totescoop6 Handicap Hurdle as it had gone lame. I’ve also heard that because of all this bad luck, the bookies don’t actually predict that McCoy will be able get his 3,000th winner on Saturday - oh my, do you think he will?.

In fact, William Hill and Sky Bet are offering odds of 10-1 if he pulls it off on the day.

Looking at other news, Chris Martin and Ian Wood have brought about their personal landmarks in the second division of Happy Birthday Nicky Amateur Rider’s Handicap at Lingfield.

With this win, the British Racing School graduate Martin celebrated his first winner, even though he has no background on the sport. And Wood, who has seen a few more victories, commemorated the 200th win of his career.
