Ryan Moore

Jockey Profile

Ryan Moore

Ryan Moore was born in England 18 September 1983.

Moore was figuratively born into the world of horse racing. His father, Gary Moore, is the highly revered and extremely successful flat trainer, who is notorious for training the illustrious racehorse of racehorses, Karinga Bay. His brother too, is involved in this noble sport, but Jamie Moore is making his name as a jump jockey. It's no wonder that becoming a jockey seemed the likely career evolution for Moore.

He set his racing career in motion, by taking advantage of his father's experience, and became his apprentice, ultimately becoming an English flat racing jockey, and taking the Champion Jockey award in 2006. Even though he contracts the better part of his rides to Richard Hannon and his father, he also rides for a number of British trainers on a regular basis.

One of Moore's most momentous events was winning the 2002 Tote Cesarewitch at Newmarket - one of the most popular betting races of the season, aboard Miss Fara.

Moore seemed to draw a valor from the memorable season of 2002, and appeared determined to better his achievements in 2003. He began by scoring 59 wins, entitling him to the 2003 Apprentice Jockey of the Year and British flat racing Champion Apprentice of 2003. He also took first place at the 2003 Goodwood King George Stakes aboard The Tatling, which he states as the best horse he has ever ridden.

In 2006, he once again took the title of Flat Jockey of the Year and British flat racing Champion Jockey. His foremost win was on Notnowcato at the Juddmonte International Stakes.

In mid-March 2007 at Lingfield, he sustained a broken arm, and missed a great deal of the season. Even though this affected his chances of recapturing his champion jockey title, he still managed to take 4 major winnings in the Eclipse Stakes, Prix Royal-Oak, Matron Stakes and Gran Criterium.
