Every winner ridden by Ryan Moore at Royal Ascot will not only benefit punters – but one of racing’s official charities as well.

Moore, stable jockey to Aidan O’Brien, is the 1-2 favourite with Ladbrokes to finish the five day meeting as top jockey.




The brilliant jockey has won the Royal Ascot title ten times, and has ridden 13 winners at the last two meetings.

This year the Ascot Racecourse Supports community and charity programme has pledged to donate £5,000 for every winner he rides to Retraining of Racehorses, British horse racing’s official charity for the welfare of horses who have retired from racing.

Moore, who is the Ascot Racecourse Supports Racing Ambassador, said: “I’m really pleased to be helping Ascot this year. Ascot Racecourse Supports are very kindly donating £5,000 for any winner I ride at Royal Ascot, and hopefully we can raise some money.”

Moore has a host of chances and picked Kyprios and Opera Singer as being two of his best hopes while also shining the light on some of the two-year-olds he is likely to partner.

He said: “I’m very much looking forward to riding Kyprios in the Gold Cup again. He’s had two runs this year winning them both and the Gold Cup is always a tough race and one of the biggest races of the week. We hope for a very big run from him.

“Opera Singer runs in the Coronation Stakes. She was the leading two year old filly last year. She was very impressive when she won the Boussac. She was slightly in need of her comeback race in the Irish 1000 Guineas. We’re looking forward to getting her to Ascot hopefully on some nicer ground, it’s a very deep Coronation with all three Guineas winners lining up and we think she’s in with a big chance.
