CHAMPION jockey Tony McCoy finally got back among the winners after Diamond Hall cruised away with the Whippers In National Hunt Flat Race at Chepstow yesterday afternoon.
He had earlier drawn a blank on four Martin Pipe-trained favourites on his first day back at the office since being sidelined for three weeks due to concussion.
"It's good to get a winner after four beaten favourites and I would think Mr Pipe is tearing his hair out," smiled a relieved McCoy. "It would have been an understatement to say I would have been really sick if I had to leave the course without a winner," he added.
McCoy now hopes for an injury-free run up to the end of season.
