www.mirror.co.ukI don’t have live access to current feeds right now, but I can share what’s publicly known about Tony McCoy’s status in recent years.
- Tony McCoy, also known as AP McCoy, retired from professional jump racing in 2015 after a storied career that included 20 Champion Jockey titles and a record-breaking number of winners in a season. He announced his retirement at the end of the 2014/15 season and rode his final Grand National in 2015.[3][6]
- Since retiring, he has been involved in media work, charity events, and business ventures, including publications and brand partnerships, while occasionally returning to the saddle for charity or special events. Reports around 2014–2015 highlighted his intent to stay connected to racing through punditry and public appearances, with some media outlets noting potential TV roles and ongoing involvement in racing circles.[1][2]
- There have been occasional one-off rides or charity appearances after his retirement, but no sustained return to full-time competition has been reported in the major outlets following 2015. Coverage from 2019 and earlier tends to focus on his achievements and ongoing influence in the sport rather than competitive comebacks.[8]
