Sir AP McCoy has hailed the retiring right-hand man who played a "huge part" in his record-breaking career in horse racing.
The 20-times champion jockey paid tribute to his former agent Dave Roberts, who bows out this week after more than three decades in the horse racing business. Roberts booked rides for McCoy, who raced to an astonishing 4,358 winners during his stunning career.
Before he hung up his boots in 2015, the National Hunt legend spoke fondly of Roberts' role in his success over the years, as he sought his counsel to plan his own exit strategy from the saddle.
