AP McCoy for SPOTY!

he does! he's been known to pat grooms on occasion too.....on the bum.....
well, very nearly anyhoo!!!

Ooh er Rowenna, that sounds like you have first hand experience, LOL. It's just that I've never seen him reward the horse after the race - he seems to be in it for himself and appears not to consider the horse's welfare. I agree he's a superb jockey, and extremely determined but he just seems to lack somewhat in the emotional area, and I find it hard to watch. I love racing, and as you know I have two ex-racers, but there's just something about him I can't bring myself to like! Maybe it would be different if I met him in person as people always come across different on a TV screen....
 
If I ever see him pat/reward a horse when he's finished a race, then I'll think about it - until then, no thanks.
