MOORE FACES LONG LAY-OFF

Fractured leg shock

- by DAVID YATES

RYAN MOORE has a broken leg and will miss the Irish Champions Festival, the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and the remainder of the 2025 season.

Moore, who hadn't ridden since finishing fifth aboard Bedtime Story in the Group One Prix Jean Romanet at Deauville last Sunday, was due to take five mounts at the Curragh yesterday.

But the 41-year-old was stood down by the Curragh stewards and his boss Aidan O’Brien revealed the Ballydoyle stable jockey has a fractured femur in his right leg.

“Ryan has been having trouble with his right leg since after the Irish Derby,” O’Brien (right) said.
