Our Selection Triumphs...Hennessy claims victory by a neck!

Tony McCoy and Hennessy brought the jumps season to a thrilling close with a battling victory in the bet365 Gold Cup on Saturday.

A distant fourth turning for home, McCoy galvanised his mount to close down the leaders in the final stages and claim victory by a neck.

"I thought he (McCoy) was beaten with more than a circuit to go but luckily had one of his good days - one of the 364 of them! The rest of us jockeys could win on the best horses, but he can win on the ones who aren't - and that's the test"
