AP McCOY'S DICE WITH DEATH
 
WETHERBY FRIDAY NOVEMBER 2nd  2012

1.00 Wetherby Racecourse & Conference Centre "National Hunt" Novices Hurdle (Class 4)  Eleven Hurdles  2m4f for 4yo+

MR WATSON (IRE) 5 10-12 partner AP McCOY handler presenter? trainer Jonjo O'Neill for Mrs J Smith 13 ran.
 
 TONY McCOY  to challenge for this Novice Hurdle aboard  MR WATSON 
 
MR WATSON dropped AP McCOY at the start, then spooked and kicked AP full in the face, MR WATSON did not run due to this accident.
 

AP McCOY  had a close shave with death this day whilst holding MR WATSON at the starting gate at Wetherby last Friday, the horse that had dropped him first,  then spooked kicking out at AP catching AP smack in the face.

NICKY HENDERSON said  " I gather that if  AP had been standing any closer to the horse on Friday he would not be here on the planet now, "

 
McCOY said: "I was holding the horse after he dropped me when he spooked, lashed out and caught me full in the face. I've broken a couple of teeth, but luckily my dentist put in a couple of temporaries last night and the doctor at Wetherby sorted me out with a plastic surgeon at York hospital who stitched me up inside and outside my lip and on my nose."

 
IT ONLY TAKES ONE ACCURATE KICK







JMC TURFCALL COMMENT
Lets take a much closer look at MR WATSON

MR WATSON a 5 year old gelding (2012) Novice Hurdler, this was his first run over hurdles this jumps season. Ran last season falling the first time out- following up
 with a Win and a Third. 
Last Friday in the 1.00 at Wetherby the 5 year old gelding MR WATSON finding himself for the 4th time in a racecourse environment, was showing signs of feeling well out of his comfort zone.  On managing to reach the starting gate with AP MC COY on board, he was by this time feeling even more uneasy, he was not responding to AP, in fact by this time MR WATSON was finding AP surplus to his immediate  safety requirements, so MR WATSON quickly fired AP off,  AP managed to keep hold of  MR WATSON, it was then that MR WATSON finding AP again inhibiting his safety spooked and kicked out to remove AP for the second time, catching AP full in his face, with his hoof.
AWAY FROM HOME MR WATSON SHOWS HE HAS NO TRUST IN ANYONE AND NEEDS TO USE HIS OWN SENSES TO STRUGGLE FOR HIS OWN SAFETY. TO GUARD
HIS OWN SAFETY AS BEST HE CAN. 
MR WATSON was showing by his actions in practice that in this racecourse environment he had no trust in AP or in anyone else, he had only himself to rely on, in what he percieved to be a strange place,  a dangerous place  ....




2.00 Ascot 122- MY TENT OR YOURS (IRE) 5 10-12 partner AP MCCOY Nicky Henderson for JP McManus 2m 4yo+
Win 4-7f
 

NICKY HENDERSON mindful that he had booked AP to ride MY TENT OR YOURS at Ascot the next day, (Saturday November 3rd) and upon hearing that AP was hurt, was thinking he would be needing to find another rider for MY TENT OR YOURS, he said "MY TENT OR YOURS  has a huge amount of talent, but he's got to learn how to use it. We all love our horses but they are accidents waiting to happen. I gather that if AP  had been standing any closer to the horse on Friday he would not be here on the planet now."
 
Trainer of  MY TENT OR YOURS Nicky Henderson said "This horse has a huge amount of talent, but he's got to learn how to use it. We all love our horses but they are accidents waiting to happen. I gather that if AP  had been standing any closer to the horse on Friday he would not be here on the planet now."
