    From an Irish racing web site this morn...

    Tony McCoy has opted to partner Exotic Dancer in next week’s totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup.

    McCoy has won the Paddy Power Gold Cup and Letheby And Christopher Chase aboard the Jonjo O’Neill-trained seven-year-old this season but he also had the choice of riding French raider L’Ami.

    The latter ran hot favourite Kauto Star to a neck last time and is owned by JP McManus, who has first call on McCoy but has decided to wave his retainer.

    McCoy told the Daily Telegraph: “The boss very kindly gave me the choice but it wasn’t easy.

    “If they both get there it looks like I’ll be riding Exotic Dancer, purely because of his form at Cheltenham this season when he’s been virtually unbeatable.

    ....

    Waived once...

    If McCoy didn't ride Exotic Dancer in the Gold Cup I would have been extremely surprised.

    Exotic Dancer trained by JJ O N ,JP owns Jacdaw Castle so not too hard a decision I suppose,Francois Doumen will be fuming.
