Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua noho ia ki tōna taha i ngā wā o te mahi whakaharahara a Tony McCoy mai i te wā i tūtaki ai rāua i te tata ki te 20 tau ki muri. Kāore hoki i rerekē te āhua o Chanelle i tēnei rā i a ia e mātakitaki ana i tana tāne e whakaatu ana i tana whakaaturanga whakamutunga ki te Whānau o Cheltenham. Kei te haere ia i tana ake haerenga hinengaro i te wa e rere ana te kaiparau rongonui i roto i te mara - e ngana ana kia wikitoria i tana Ipu Koura tuatoru i mua i tana reti mai i te hakinakina i te Paenga-whawha. Engari ko te koa o te wikitoria i whakamahia e raua tokorua ki te pouri i a ia e whiti ana i te raina mutunga i te tuaiwa. I roto i ngā tau e rua tekau kua hipa, ko McCoy te rangatira o ngā whakataetae hoiho, e 19 ngā toa o te ao mahi, e 31 ngā toa i Cheltenham anake. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Te hiahia: Ko te wahine a Tony McCoy a Chanelle (maui) i hiahia nui ki a ia ki te kii i tana wikitoria tuatoru o te Gold Cup. Engari, i muri tata iho ka huri tana whakaaro pai ki te pouri nui i te wa i whiti atu ai tana tahu i te mutunga i te tuaiwa. Anticlimax: Kāore i taea e te toa toa toa a Tony McCoy te karauna i tana whakataetae Cheltenham whakamutunga me te wikitoria o te Gold Cup. Ngā rā whakamutunga: I kii a McCoy ka reti ia i te mutunga o te tau 2014/15 ā, ko tōna putanga whakamutunga ki te papa whakataetae ko te hui Bet365 Gold Cup i Sandown i te Paenga-whāwhā 2015. I tēnei rā, i whakamanamana ia e te mano o te iwi, tae atu ki ngā rangatira pēnei i a Princess Anne, tana tama a Peter, a Zara Philips me tana tāne - te toa o te Rugby World Cup a Mike Tindall. He maha nga kanohi rongonui tae atu ki te kaiwhakahaere puoro a Andrew Lloyd Webber, te kaitohutohu whutupaoro a John Motson me te kaikanikani ngaio a Ola Jordan i tae atu ki roto i te mano tini. Engari kaore i taea e McCoy te whakaputa i te mutunga whakamiharo i hiahiatia e ratou katoa - ka ngaro ki te toa whakamutunga Coneygree e eke ana a Nico de Boinville. Engari ko te 40 tau te pakeke e kiia nei ko ia te kaieke nui rawa atu o nga wa katoa ka mutu tonu te wa hei toa mo te wa 20 o te raupapa. I whakaae tētahi McCoy i muri i te hui nui rawa atu o te whakataetae peke, e kore rawa e rite tonu te Huihuinga o Cheltenham ki a ia. I muri i te whiwhinga o tētahi whakaaturanga motuhake i te...
Kāore i taea e Tony McCoy te whai i te wikitōria i tana putanga whakamutunga o te Ipu Cheltenham. Ko tana wahine a Chanelle i kaha ki te whakanui i a ia ki te wikitoria tuatoru o te Gold Cup. Engari i tino tangi ia i tana kitenga i a ia e whiti ana i te raina mutunga i te tuaiwa. I tae mai te mano nui, ngā rangatira me ngā kanohi rongonui ki te rā whakamutunga o te hui. 'He wāhi whakamiharo tēnei me ngā tāngata whakamiharo,' i kī mai a Tony McCoy i runga i te ngākau nui.
