Horse Racing legend AP McCoy brings his magnificent career to a close collecting his 20th Champion Jockey trophy, before a packed house at sunny Sandown.

It was almost perfect.

A sell out crowd of more than 18,000 people at sunny Sandown, a whole host of celebrities standing in line to pay their respects, and his close friends and family all in tow.

The only thing that horse racing legend AP McCoy was missing was his 4,349th professional victory. He was always the box office star, but his horse of the same name could do no better than third, as a tearful McCoy pulled down a reluctant curtain on the most amazing career.
