Ryan Moore is widely regarded as the best jockey in the world and he has been crowned Royal Ascot leading jockey an incredible 11 times during his racing career.
Moore finds himself behind only the great Lester Piggott in the all-time standings for Royal Ascot winners and he is some way clear of his fellow ‘active’ riders, riding an impressive 85 winners at the meeting.
With Frankie Dettori now plying his trade over in the United States, Moore can cement his status as the greatest jockey of his generation and he is as short as 4/7 in horse racing odds with William Hill to finish as the leading jockey.
Ryan Moore Royal Ascot Record In Last Decade:
- 2024 – 6 winners
- 2023 – 5 winners
- 2022 – 7 winners
- 2021 – 4 winners
- 2020 – 4 winners
- 2019 – 5 winners

In fact, William Hill have opened a ‘without Ryan Moore’ market ahead of the 2025 Royal Ascot meeting, which suggests that punters are confident of more Moore success.
Riding predominantly for Ballydoyle maestro Aidan O’Brien throughout the week, Moore will have a plethora of leading chances and it’d be a huge shock to see him pipped in the race to be top jockey at Royal Ascot 2025.
With many predicting O’Brien to have several winners, one would have to give his retained rider a fantastic chance of claiming the Royal Ascot leading jockey award for the 12th time.
With a ride in all seven races on Day 1, Moore could get off to a flyer – especially as all seven of his booked mounts are currently priced near the head of the betting.
The likes of James Doyle, William Buick and Colin Keane will have plenty of quality rides but Moore will take some stopping in his quest for Royal Ascot top jockey title number 12.
