The remarkable Tony McCoy rode his 4000th career winner when Mountain Tunes won at Towcester this afternoon.
Celebrations
McManus announced he would pay for drinks at Towcester so everyone could celebrate.
He said: "I was delighted to have the opportunity to buy a drink for everybody here to toast what AP has done today. I'm very fortunate."
O'Neill said: "He's an amazing man, fantastic, that was brilliant to watch - 4,000 winners or not, that was a brilliant race to watch.
"His pain barrier must be something else, he's been through a lot. He's great with all the staff. He's brilliant at schooling. If one is tricky he'll school it afterwards and show the lads how it's done. Not in a cocky way.
"He's a great ambassador for the whole job. He's never late and is always on time. We've all been in this game long enough to know you've got to enjoy it, we're just lucky enough to make a living out of it. JP's family are just fantastic supporters and love the game. I'm just privileged to have been part of it all."
Chanelle McCoy outlined plans for a party at her husband's pub and that he would be buying a special present for Eve, who turns six on Friday.
She said: "This is incredible. I didn't think he was going to do it. It was nearly too good to be true as his dad is here, his brother is here and Mr McManus is here.
"Our hearts were in our mouths, we'd given up - it was a typical AP ride, definitely. Daddy promised Eve an extra present when he got his 4,000th winner. We've been following Tony around this week, so Eve has had to have this week off school."
