Around 500 guests from the world of National Hunt attended a glitzy awards ceremony at the home of jump racing, Cheltenham Racecourse, to celebrate the outstanding performances during the 2017/2018 season ahead of the start of an exciting new season.
These awards are named after Sir Anthony McCoy, the record-breaking 20-time champion jockey, who retired from race-riding in April 2015. The panel of judges for this year’s awards included Sir Anthony, trainer Henrietta Knight, journalist Steve Jones and Cheltenham’s clerk of the course Simon Claisse and AP McCoy himself. The award winners included both equine and human stars from the industry.
