Golf has a tiger...Motor Racing has a Schumacher...and Horse Racing has the phenomenal McCoy...

For the first time, the mercurial genius of racing let the cameras into his remarkable life on and off the track...in the saddle, on the golf course, in the weighing room, even in his bathroom!

The Real McCoy follows the seven-time Champion Jockey through his record breaking 2001/2002 season as he shattered Sir Gorden Richards' 1947 record of 269 wins and swept into the history books riding an incredible 289 winners.

McCoy reveals his true emotions about the drama of Cheltenham, speaks passionately about his insatiable desire to win and talks candidly about what he really thinks of his critics...this is the real life drama of a champion, a man who will be thrown brutally from a horse one day and win five straight races the next.

We follow the highs and lows and go exclusively behind the scenes on that record-breaking day at Warwick. The winners, the sinners, the thrills and yes, the spills are all here through the unfaltering eyes of the man himself.

Plus...McCoy looks back on some of the sport's great races and horses, including Red Rum and Desert Orchid. There has never been a racing film like this, because this is The Real McCoy.
