Tony McCoy beat Richard Johnson to the 100-winner mark this season by completing an 11-1 double at Carlisle today.
The champion jockey and his biggest rival both started the day on 99 winners for the campaign but Johnson drew a blank at Fontwell.
Both winners were trained by Jonjo O`Neill, Knockdoo justifying 3-1 favouritism in the J. Noble Promotions Car Boot Fair Handicap Hurdle and Strahan Cross completing a hat-trick in the Cheltenham & Three Counties Club Handicap Chase.
McCoy, who missed out on breaking his record for the fastest century by just one day, told the Racing Channel: 'I kind of knew that after having two weeks off and three weeks for concussion, I wouldn`t get the record.
'I`ll just keep riding winners which is what you need to do to keep M C Pipe happy.'
Referring to recent reports that McCoy might be set to leave his position as stable jockey to Pipe, he continued: 'We`ve got a lot of good horses and Mr Pipe has been very good to me.
'He`s easy to ride for, which a lot of people don`t understand, and the horses are always in brilliant condition.
'I`d love to win a Gold Cup this season, especially for Mr Pipe who has never had a winner in the race and I`d like to win a Grand National but I`ll have to get round first!'
Trainer Andrew Parker sent out his first winners since taking over the licence from his late father Colin in October.
Brian Storey partnered Hugo de Grez to victory in the Tote Credit Club Chase and Workaway to success in the Cross Fell National Hunt Flat Race to complete the 53-1 brace.
Parker said: 'It`s a pleasure to get off the mark here at Carlisle, our local track.
'We`ve got some very, very nice young horses.
'We`ve seven or eight French-bred horses which all like this soft ground so we should have a nice winter with some of those.'
Those who took the 4-9 on offer about Ballinclay King were in for a shock in the D.A.Harrison Novices` Chase.
For Ferdy Murphy`s charge, an impressive winner at Wetherby last time, reared up, spun around and lost 30 lengths at the start.
Adrian Maguire`s mount soon made up the leeway but the effort took its toll on the run for home and he was beaten three lengths and the same into third by Red Striker and Deep Water.
A philosophical Murphy said: 'We`ve had problems with him - we do have every morning, he just has a buck and a squeal.
'He`s got himself in a little bit of a stew, it`s just one of those things about him and he just takes a bit of knowing.
'He does need the experience and this won`t have done him any harm.'
