Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on May 04, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Tony McCoy! The jockey who rode his way into history books and our hearts—winning races faster than most of us can saddle up. Your legendary victory at the Grand National aboard Don't Push It still has bookmakers scratching their heads in disbelief. And let's not forget 2010—the year you galloped past footballers, cricketers, and Olympians to become the first-ever jockey crowned BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

Here's wishing a timeless champion another lap around life's track filled with fewer hurdles (unless you're riding them), plenty more trophies for your shelf—and cake that's easier to handle than a spirited thoroughbred!
