Richard Johnson is just seven short of 2500 career wins and should at his normal rate of progress reach that milesetone before the 2013 Cheltenham Festival. Tony McCoy is the only jockey to have previously reached the 2500 milestone. McCoy landed his 2500th win on Kanpai at Huntingdon on 3 October 2006 and now has 4000 winners on the horizon.
Johnson has notched up 117 wins this term and currently lies third in the 2012-13 jockeys championship behind AP McCoy and Jason Maguire. Maguire looks on course for his best ever season with 125 wins so far this term. His current best ever tally was the 144 notched up last year. Jason and Davy Russell both look set to join a select group of National Hunt jockeys who have achieved 1000 career wins sometime in 2014. Here is our latest table of jump jockeys by total winners:
