Real McCoy: the best pictures from AP's historic 4,000th winner

Could the greatest jumps jockey ever do it on a wet Wednesday afternoon in Towcester? Yes, actually.

McCoy and Mountain Tunes pass Panama Petrus as they jump the last fence…

But he still needed to reel in Jamie Moore who looked to have the race won on Kris Spin.

A smile from the champ as he passes the winning post for the 4,000th time.

A four-fingered salute for the cameras.

A moment with baby son Archie.

And with wife Chanelle, daughter Eve and Archie.
