McCoy back with a bang Tony McCoy was back with a bang and in ´business as usual´ mood at Fontwell yesterday after being sidelined by injury for two months. The record-breaking rider, who broke his right arm in a fall at Worcester on June 18th, hit the winning trail on his first mount back - Flying Spirit, trained by Brighton handler Gary Moore, in the novices´ hurdle. The partnership pulled clear coming out of the back straight to score by 13 lengths at 9 to 4, beating the favourite Chivite, ridden by his main rival Richard Johnson. McCoy´s other ride of the day, Enitsag for his boss Martin Pipe, proved hard work and had to settle for a well-beaten third place in the selling hurdle behind Doberman. The champion said after his day´s work: 'I was nervous, like a lad who was having his first ride, but I soon warmed to it.'McCoy has three booked rides at Worcester today.
