Carlisle Off Tony McCoy's bid to reach 3,000 British and Irish National Hunt winners has stalled due to Carlisle's abandonment. The 13-times champion jockey had four good rides at the Cumbria venue, where overnight temperatures plummeted to nearly minus-four degrees. Clerk of the course Andrew Tulloch quickly accepted defeat following an early-morning inspection and called off this afternoon's fixture due to a frozen track. He said: "We've had a look, but we are still frozen. "There is unfortunately no prospect of racing." McCoy has been stranded on the 2,998-winner mark since last Thursday.
