AP McCoy picked up the 25th and final Lester of his illustrious career at a star-studded night at the Hilton Metropole in Birmingham. AP won the Jumps Jockey of the Year trophy and the ARC Jump Jockey Special Recognition prize.
As a thank you from the Professional Jockeys Association for all he has done for racing and his commitment over many years, the PJA commissioned Philip Blacker, the renowned sculptor and former jockey who designed the Lester, to sculpt a one-off solid silver Lester in McCoy’s likeness. It was presented to him in place of the traditional Lester for his Stobart Jump Jockey of the Year award.
