Tony McCoy to come out of retirement to ride in charity race

Tony McCoy has confirmed that he will come out of retirement to ride in a charity flat race on Wednesday.

The Irishman, who saddled 4,348 winners in his career, retired as a 20-time champion jockey in April.

However, the 40-year-old has decided to return to racing for one day only as he partners Gannicus in this week's 'Legends' race at Doncaster's St Leger meeting.

In his career, McCoy's winners include two Cheltenham Gold Cups and the 2010 Grand National.
