Ryan Moore delivered a timely reminder of his world-leading status with a supreme performance to land a third Longines International Jockeys' Championship (IJC) in a thrilling contest which remained wide open right up to its conclusion at Happy Valley on Dec 10.

With four riders tied in the lead heading into the last of the four rounds with 12 points under a scoring format of 12 points for a win, six points for second and four points for third, it was just the kind of competitive event the evening was designed for.

Hugh Bowman, Moore and William Buick already had a winner apiece while Zac Purton's two second places kept him in the hunt. Others lurked with the potential to take the overall prize with victory in the final leg over 1,200 metres.
