Moore misses Ebor opener
Ryan Moore will miss the start of the York Ebor Festival on Tuesday after delaying his return due to the wrist injury he sustained in a fall at Windsor on Monday.
The champion jockey had several rides booked for the opening day of the four-day fixture on the Knavesmire, including Total Command in the sportbingbet.com Great Voltigeur Stakes for his boss Sir Michael Stoute.
The mount of the Ladbrokes St Leger hopeful has gone to Olivier Peslier.
The Frenchman benefited from Moore’s decision to choose Workforce when steering Harbinger to a spectacular victory in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Moore, three-times champion jockey, is currently third in this year’s title race behind Paul Hanagan and Richard Hughes.
