Overview

• Scans identified a fracture in Moore’s right femur after he reported soreness at the Curragh, according to O’Brien.
• The trainer said the layoff could be one to three months or longer, with repeat scans guiding his return.
• Moore is expected to miss the St Leger meeting, the Irish Champions Festival and the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe weekend.
• He had been managing right-leg pain since after the Irish Derby yet still rode three winners at York’s Ebor festival, including a Group 1 on Minnie Hauk, and competed at Deauville last Sunday.
• With Moore out and Lordan banned for 10 days, Ballydoyle must reassign rides for major fixtures in the coming fortnight.
