Ryan Moore showed he is right back at the top of his game in winning the Longines International Jockeys’ Championship for the third time at Happy Valley in Hong Kong – sealing victory aboard the aptly-named Triumphant More.
One of the world’s very best, Moore, 42, missed the latter stages of the Flat season with a stress fracture of his femur and only returned to the saddle a week ago, although he wasted little time getting back among the prizes with a winner that day at Lingfield.
Moore was one of several British riders partaking in the big event that acts as a pre-cursor to a huge day of racing at Sha Tin on Sunday, and with two winners gained courtesy of Corleone and Triumphant More, he topped the table after the four legs.
