McCoy to Ride The Grand National WinnerTony McCoy is yet to ride a Grand National Winner and every year there is great anticipation from his fans thinking this is the year. For most of the year some bookmakers will offer odds on Tony McCoy to ride the winner of the Grand National.
| Year | McCoy’s Mount | Finishing Position | | 2009 | Butlers Cabin | 7th | | 2008 | Butlers Cabin | Fell | | 2007 | L’Ami | 10th | | 2006 | Clan Royal | 3rd | | 2005 | Clan Royal | Carried Out | | 2004 | Jurancon II | Fell | | 2003 | Iris Bleu | Pulled Up | | 2002 | Blowing Wind | 3rd | | 2001 | Blowing Wind | 3rd | | 2000 | Dark Stranger | Unseated Rider | | 1999 | Eudipe | Fell | | 1998 | Challenger de Luc | Fell |
His choice of mount will usually be known a week or so before the race but is sometimes more if there is a very obvious choice such as Clan Royal in 2005 which was amongst the favourites and a horse he was retained to ride.
If backing Tony McCoy to ride the winner of the Grand National before his ride is announced you are probably going to get better Grand National odds than you would backing his mount on the day as people will always want to back what Tony McCoy is riding as he has been Champion Jockey so many times.
It seems inevitable that one day he will ride the winner so the Grand National odds for a Tony McCoy winner are probably value at this stage in his career.
