(Reuters) - Tony McCoy became the most successful race-winner of all time as he rode the 4,192nd winner of his career to surpass Martin Pipe's record of career wins with victory atop It's A Gimmie at Market Rasen on Saturday.
The champion jockey, 40, passed 4,000 wins at Towcester in November before setting his sights on the record held by Pipe, a former mentor and long-term friend, who retired from training in 2006 with 4,191 winners.
