5.0 out of 5 stars Great vid for jump racing fans, 28 Oct 2002

By A Customer

Following the amazing 2001-2002 season of champion jockey Tony McCoy, when he became the winningmost jump jockey of all time in miraculous style, this video stands heads and shoulders above any other racing video in terms of quality and entertainment.

Not only does it focus on the races, a favourable proportion of the video shows the man himself away from his workplace.

In a candid view of the champ, we see him in the bathtub, asleep in the car and on holiday in Spain having a laugh with pal Mick Fitzgerald.

But the video is thankfully not a one-sided eulogy to the living legend. Criticism is given to his unbending attitude that sometimes takes the shine off his crown, but McCoy is not afraid to confront this issue, even if his response is not the one hoped for.

A brilliant buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you love the sport you'll love this video!!, 4 Jul 2003

By	Miss EE Sargeant (Leek, Staffs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Any fans of national hunt racing and not just an interest in Tony McCoy, will find this video entertaining. It details his record breaking year when he broke Sir Gordon Richards record from his very 1st ride of season up to the win on Valfonic which broke the record. It also gives you an insight to his life outside the racing world, his best friends, and how he spends his spare time. The video also concentrates on some of the low points in his career when the likes of Gloria Victis and Valiramix were casualites at the Cheltenham Festival and show that this obviously affected him greatly and were a great loss to the sport.

Whether you are a fan of the champion jockey or not, you will find this video is one that cannot be missed!!!!!!!
