Ryan Moore's five greatest rides

Article from Racingpost.com
Notnowcato Eclipse, Sandown, 2007
All eyes were on a fascinating scrap between the Derby winner of that year Authorized and the late George Washington as they battled on the far side. But Moore had walked the course and was of the opinion the stands side offered a golden strip of turf, which he subtly, and brilliantly exploited on his own.
Snow Fairy- Oaks, Epsom, 2010
The big question surrounding this tough and talented mare as a three-year-old was whether she would stay the 1m4f Oaks trip. She was settled out the back by Moore in order to give her every chance, but those tactics looked to have become unstuck when the pair were faced with horses spread across the Downs in the final stages. But Moore managed to pick his way through traffic and despite bouncing off the running rail on more than one occasion, stormed home for a victory that set up Snow Fairy's career
Magician-Breeders' Cup Turf, Santa Anita, 2013
A race which may still keep William Buick awake at night. It looked like he and The Fugue had done everything right to secure victory. The pair enjoyed a dream trip, challenging on the final turn before hitting the front with a furlong left. But there was Moore, who had been one from last through the early stages before quietly getting closer. He unleashed Magician at the top of the straight, and a sustained, withering run was sufficient to cut down Buick in the final yards.
Adelaide - Cox Plate, Moonee Valley, 2014
Drawn 13 of 14, things seemingly needed to go right at the start for Adelaide to have any chance of landing one of Australia's most prestigious prizes. But a slow start meant Moore was left bringing up the rear in the early stages. Rather than panic, Moore patiently let Adelaide creep into the race, before swooping round the final turn five-wide. Such a move did not expend all of Adelaide's energy as he fought to the line for a stunning victory.
Hong Kong Vase, Sha Tin, 2015
Aidan O'Brien did not have a winner at Sha Tin's jaw-droppingly valuable International meeting on his illustrious CV, until Moore again wove his magic. From a wide draw, Moore shot to the front to avoid being trapped outside, and was then content to drop back slightly as Harbour Master swept round attempting to up the pace. Turning in, last year's winner Flintshire came through to make what looked a winning run, but Moore expertly covered the move to collar and wear down the defending champion in what was a clinic of tactical awareness.

Ryan, will be Hong Kong for his 1 month stint during that time.
On another note, the Japanese just love him and go all out whenever they can, to put him on their horses.

Watched the magician race and thought at the time, one of the best rides i've
seen, when saw it was Moore, all made sense! Horse looked like it was
about to take off to the clouds..
the Grey Gatsby-Australia race was pretty good too.
