 Tony McCoy rode Ainama to a win at Kempton on Monday
|
Tony McCoy has been frustrated in his quest to secure career victory number 3,000 after Wednesday's meeting at Leicester was abandoned.
McCoy, 34, needs three more winners to secure the landmark haul of National Hunt triumphs in Britain and Ireland.
The 13-time champion jockey had four attractive rides at Leicester, all trained by Jonjo O'Neill and running in the colours of his boss, JP McManus.
A night of heavy rain meant the all-chase fixture had to be called off.
"That's not helped my cause," McCoy told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"I'll have to wait until Thursday and have another go then."

McCoy is scheduled to ride Stradbrook at Wincanton on Thursday and is then set to ride at Chepstow on Friday and either Sandown or Doncaster on Saturday as he chases the landmark.
But he admitted he was frustrated not to be able to close in further at Leicester.
"It would have been nice to have done it today (Wednesday) because JP McManus is my boss and has been very loyal to me. He has been a great man to work for.
"I would really like to do it in his colours, if at all possible."
After securing a double at Kempton on Monday, the champion jockey was unsuccessful with two rides at Taunton on Tuesday where Jokers Legacy finished second, while Larks Lad was pulled up.
