Overview
- The King's Birthday Honours list named Ryan Moore MBE on Saturday for services to racing and British sport.
- Moore has ridden more than 2,600 winners in Britain and nearly 3,400 worldwide, including 18 British Classics and four Epsom Derby victories.
- He is noted for 92 Royal Ascot winners, a post-war single-meeting record of nine wins in 2015, and four Longines world jockey titles.
- Moore’s 2013 Gold Cup ride on Estimate for the late Queen is singled out in coverage and his father Gary Moore called the award “well deserved.”
- The honours list also recognises other racing figures, with Kirsten Rausing appointed CBE for services to charity, animal welfare and bloodstock and Richard Lyttle receiving an MBE, a sign of wider industry acknowledgement.
