Ryan Moore paid tribute to the “brilliant people” who have helped build his magnificent career in the saddle after it was announced he has been inducted into the British Racing Hall of Fame.
The three-time champion jockey, who has ridden an astonishing 230 Group/Grade One winners during a highly-decorated career, will be honoured in an official ceremony at Ascot on Qatar Racing British Champions Day on October 17.
The Aga Khan’s ill-fated Shergar will be inducted on the same day.
Moore was keen to namecheck those who have helped him build from his initial rides as a jump jockey for his father Gary to globetrotting international superstar.

“I’m honoured to be inducted into the British Racing Hall of Fame. I’ve been fortunate to work with some brilliant people throughout my career,” he said.
“My family’s support was so important when I was starting out, and Richard Hannon showed lots of faith in me in the early days as well. I’m also particularly grateful to Sir Michael Stoute and Aidan O’Brien for the opportunities they’ve given me over the years.
“It means a lot to be recognised alongside them and others who have achieved so much in the sport.”
Moore becomes the 14th person inducted into the Hall of Fame following Lester Piggott, Vincent O’Brien, Pat Eddery, Queen Elizabeth II, Frankie Dettori, Willie Carson, Sir Henry Cecil, Sir Michael Stoute, Prince Khalid Abdullah, Steve Cauthen, Aidan O’Brien, Jack Berry and Major Dick Hern.
Shergar, who won the 1981 Epsom Derby by a record-breaking 10 lengths and followed up in the Irish Derby and the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot, is remembered as much for a sad end after being kidnapped in February 1983.
The middle-distance star, who was never seen again, becomes the 14th horse to be inducted after Frankel, Brigadier Gerard, Nijinsky, Mill Reef, Dayjur, Dancing Brave, Galileo, Sea The Stars, Stradivarius, Pebbles, Dubai Millennium, Goldikova and Enable.
Sophie Able, co-chair of the Hall of Fame panel, said: “It was the unanimous decision of the panel that Shergar and Ryan Moore are both truly deserving inductees to the British Racing Hall of Fame.
“Shergar remains one of the most celebrated and iconic horses in British racing history, while Ryan’s outstanding career and achievements in the saddle have established him as one of the great jockeys of his generation.”
