Tony McCoy was presented with the champion jockey title for the 15th year on the trot at Sandown on Saturday.
The 35-year-old Northern Irishman capped another record-breaking season with his first victory in the Grand National, on Don't Push It.
He just missed 200 season winners and took his career total past 3,000.
The tireless teetotal jockey has little time to rest as he begins his mission for a 16th title at Ludlow on Sunday when the 2010-11 campaign starts.
Meanwhile, Rhys Flint clinched the conditional jockeys' championship when he won the opener at Market Rasen on Saturday.

Among other big racing names to be honoured with awards at Sandown were Paul Nicholls (champion trainer) and JP McManus (champion owner).
McCoy also won the people's award for his ride on Don't Push It in the Grand National, while the trainer he so often rides for, Jonjo O'Neill, won the Sandown Park merit award for outstanding contribution to racing.
Albertas Run, whose three wins included the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham and the Melling Chase at Aintree, was the Order of Merit winner.
