Ryan Moore

again and again and again

Steve Cauthen was awesome but this one is something else, best jockey I have seen.
 
He always seems to know exactly what he has got in hand at every stage of the race. It's uncanny ability. I'm beginning to think too that he might even be more talented than Cauthen (although it's a bit like comparing Mozart with Bach) and I never ever thought I would say that about any jockey. Thanks for the link
 
Whose colours was he riding in?

Tremendous ride, rest of the field were asleep as he glided by.

Mozart was a sprinter while Bach was good up to 10 furlongs.!
 
According to another forum I am on reckons that Moore only gave Adelaide an "average" ride.....

Bearing in mind that the person who posted that comment is an Aussie who never has an answer as to why more Aussie jocks arent seen outside of Australasia....... other than they can earn more money which whilst a fair comment isnt actually proof they have better jocks :)

Fed up of trying to explain why the best make it look simple
 
Adelaide is the first European-trained winner of the Cox Plate. Considering that this season he has already been to Longchamp, Ascot, Belmont, Arlington and Longchamp again before even setting off to Melbourne it is some achievement.
 
The kind of horse D K Weld / Tom Hogan should be training if right was right ! You have to like him.
Amazing that Joseph gets lambasted for going five wide on Australia yet Ryan Moore a hero for going six wide. That the photo goes your way is all important.
Another great run by Side Glance, now in the frame in 11 from 19 Group/Grade 1 races.
 
Drawn 13 of 14, Ryan Moore didn't have a choice - drawn 2 of 7, Joseph had plenty. :)

Hit the nail right on the head reet hard it's making choices that's difficult. Good jockeys make the right ones.

Too much made of going wide: it might have cost Adelaide 2 lengths on Saturday. But it meant he only had to make one run and he kept the momentum going. If Moore had made the choice to weave through horses it wouldn't have been one run and the momentum would have been lost.

Excellent ride from an excellent jockey.
 
ryan moore is building the momentum in the final few furlongs, also riding the horse so that it doesnt run out of energy and keeps going all the way to the line,
so he is making the horse stronger mentally in the finish and this enables the horses to win races, that visually they shouldnt be winning ( from viewing perspective) IMO.

And we would have been saying it was a race too far if Joseph obrien (or many others) had been aboard.
