Can Ryan Moore Win The Irish Derby For The First Time?

Andy Newton

Top jockey – Ryan Moore – has won most of the big races on the world horse racing calendar. However – did you know Ryan Moore is still to win the Irish Derby? Something that is fairly remarkable considering his main supporter – Aidan O’Brien – has won the race 14 times! But this could all change in 2022 as Moore has been booked to ride Tuesday, who was recently supplemented for the Irish Derby by the Ballydoyle team.

Ryan Moore Has Had 9 Irish Derby Rides and They’ve All Lost

 

Despite not having won the Irish Derby yet the ‘good news’ for Ryan Moore is that he’s got a great chance of breaking his Irish Derby hoodoo after trainer Aidan O’Brien has supplemented their recent Epsom Oaks winner – Tuesday – for this Saturday’s race.

 

Moore has ridden in the Irish Derby nine times – all for either trainers Aidan O’Brien or Sir Michael Stoute – but the best he’s managed is two seconds with Anthony Van Dyck (2019) and Idaho (2016).

 

He was last seen in Irish Derby action in 2021 on High Definition, but that 9/4 fav could only manage 10th, while he’s also had a runner in the race for the Queen when he rode Her Majesty’s Carlton House in 2011, but was again beaten as the market leader at 5/4.

 

In total, of Moore’s nine Irish Derby rides, six have been sent of as favorite and they’ve all been beaten.

Can Ryan Moore Break His Irish Derby Duck In 2022 On Tuesday?

Many punters will feel that Ryan Moore’s first Irish Derby win isn’t far away and having already been confirmed to ride the recenlty supplemented – Tuesday – for trainer Aidan O’Brien, then he’s got a leading chance.

 

Tuesday was last seen winning the Epsom Oaks in decent fashion – beating the useful Emily Upjohn, with the pair pulling well clear of the rest. Tuesday is a rare filly to be running in the Irish Derby too, with the last winning female horse to win the Irish Derby – Balanchine in 1994, with a certain Frankie Dettori riding.

 

The vibes coming out of the Ballydoyle camp are that Tuesday has done really well since her Epsom Oaks win and this is backed up with connections forking out the extra cash to get her into Saturday’s big Curragh race. (See Aidan O’Brien’s thoughts below)

 

Tuesday is also the top-rated horse in the field (117) and being a filly will get a handy 3lbs allowance from the colts in the race – she’s certainly got a huge chance based on that, espectially as O’Brien feels the horse has got better since her last Epsom run too!

 

Tuesday has been the subject of a lot of support in the Irish Derby betting market too. He’s overtaken Westover @ 7/4 with 888Sport as the new Irish Derby favorite and with the form of her Epsom Oaks win getting a boost last Sunday with the third Nashwa winning the Prix Du Diane in France, it’s easy to see why the money has come for her.

Aidan O’Brien told the Racing Post about Tuesday

“She seems to have come out of Epsom well, obviously we haven’t done too much since the Oaks, but anything she has done she has done well.”

“She just came out of the Oaks very well and she has kept progressing with every week that passes since the start of the year.

“I have said all along that she is only going to get better with time given her age but it is one thing saying it, it is another thing doing it on the track. She has done it. Physically every week she has just got stronger and everybody involved with her has been very happy.”
