Moore’s tactical brilliance very much in evidence as ’Daiquiri makes all

RYAN Moore displayed characteristic ruthlessness in two of Royal Ascot’s second-day Group races to prove the difference between victory and defeat in the Jersey and Windsor Forest Stakes.

The champion jockey was obviously helped by the willingness of his respective winners, Rainfall and Strawberrydaiquiri, but his tactical brilliance shone particularly with his ride on the latter.

Sir Michael Stoute’s grey Strawberrydaiquiri (9-2) had only lost on two of her previous seven starts but in a race with no obvious leaders, Moore jettisoned the usual arrangements of holding her up in favour of making the running.
