<h1>2015 Cheltenham Festival Results : AP McCoy Win</h1>
AP McCoy won his first race of his final Cheltenham Festival on day three, riding Uxizandre to triumph in the Ryanair Chase.
The Alan King-prepared seven-year-old, a 16-1 shot, drove the distance for the 19-time Champion racer, who is resigning this season.
Mama Filleule (5-1) was second with 5-2 most loved Don Cossack third.
McCoy said: "I would love to say its an alleviation, yet I really got such a rush riding him."
The Northern Irishman did not appear to favor his chances much prerace, yet coach King's seven-year-old put in some stupendous jumps on the route round.
"I was really supposing I wouldn't see any problems with riding the steed in one year from now's Champion Chase," said McCoy after his triumph.
"He fled with me for a mile and a half and I thought he would never keep it up yet I was truly cheerful descending the slope."
"Heading into day three he needed once again to ride a victor at Cheltenham, to splash up the environment and not complete his profession without one more champ."
