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
