Liver Building Projection
A giant projection of champion jockey AP McCoy looked over Liverpool tonight from the Royal Liver Building ahead of this weekend’s Grand National.As a good luck gesture to the Irish racing legend an image of McCoy was projected on the city’s iconic Liver Building this evening.The champion jockey is set to have his 20th and last ride in the world’s greatest steeplechase before retirement aboard Shutthefrontdoor.When he announced his retirement, McCoy said: “This is without a doubt, the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make. I’ve been dreading this day, and if I’m honest, I still can’t quite imagine a life without racing.“However, I know it’s the right time to end a career I’ve loved, every single day. Even when I’ve fallen and been injured, I’ve been desperate to get back and achieve my goals, achieve the dream I realised when I was a boy but I’m now ready to retire.“I want to go out at top, I want to go out as champion jockey and it will be my 20th year if I can win the jockeys’ championship. I want to go out while I still enjoy riding and am still relatively at the top.”Great British Racing are calling on the city to wish McCoy good luck before his final Grand National by using the hashtag #GoodLuckAP.
