Born 33 years ago in East Sussex, England, Ryan Lee Moore is an accomplished professional in flat racing, having been crowned Champion Jockey 3 times. His entire family is (or has been) in the racing business; his dad, Gary Moore, is a trainer with a good understanding of the landscape, his brothers Jamie and Joshua are also jockeys. Hayley Moore too is a great amateur. It is evident that Moore doesn’t miss much when it comes to having a firm racing background – what with all the family invested in the sport.
Career Highlights
Moore has managed to take the Epson Derby on two separate occasions, which is without a doubt one of the highlights of his career. He has also clinched the Epsom Oaks a couple of times. His yearly stats have impressed, with several stretches where he managed a hundred or more wins each year. 2006, 2009 and 2013 were some of his most successful years with 182, 178 and 194 wins respectively.
Moore has not restricted his racing to one country either. He was won a smattering of trophies around several famous racing locations. He has raced in Italy, Germany, Ireland, Honk Kong, Australia, Japan, United Arab Emirates, and the United States. This makes him one of the most well travelled Jockeys in the world at the moment. His mounts have included Tapestry, Order of St. George, Ruler of the World, Minding, Homecoming Queen, Conduit, Rizeena, Workforce and many more.
Earnings
The Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (Group 1) (3yo+ No Geldings) (Turf), held in October 2016 raked in £2,100,735 for Moore. In December, he galloped away with £1,247,811 at the LONGINES Hong Kong Cup (Group 1) (3yo+) (Turf). From these two gigantic paychecks alone, it would be fair to say that Ryan is quite well off!
