Record-breaking jockey Tony McCoy is to retire at the end of the season, and racegoers may see his final run at Sandown Park.

McCoy made the announcement after getting his 200th win of the season riding Mr Mole at the Betfair Price Rush Chase at Newbury.

He said he wanted to go out at the top as a champion jockey, having been champion for a record 19 consecutive seasons and winning 4,322 races.

Rupert Trevelyan, London regional director at the Jockey Club, said: "We are already in talks about what great plans we will have in place to give AP McCoy the retirement send-off he deserves at Sandown Park for the bet365 meeting on Saturday, April 25.

"Not only is AP a legend of the sport but he is a legend here at Sandown Park having had numerous wins and we want to give him a day he will always remember."

Mr McCoy said after the race on Saturday, February 7: "It's going to be the last time I ride 200 winners.

"Having spoken to Dave [Roberts, his agent] and JP McManus, I am going to be retiring at the end of the season."

While he admitted he will miss the sport, he said he was aware he could not continue forever and would be retiring from racing in April at the Esher racecourse.

Mr McCoy, 40, said: "I want to out while I still enjoy riding and am still relatively at the top."

He started working with horses at 13, turning to full-time when he left school at 15.

In 2003, Mr McCoy was made an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours and an OBE in 2010.
