Ryan Moore set for spell on sidelines due to ongoing injury

Top jockey Ryan Moore is set for a spell for a spell on the sidelines as he recovers from an ongoing injury. 

Moore was stood down from his rides at the Curragh on Saturday due to the injury, and told Rishi Persad he will be on the sidelines for the foreseeable future as he allows the injury to recover.

Persad, while presenting from Sandown, revealed on Racing TV: "Many of you would have noticed that Ryan Moore is not riding at the Curragh today. One or two rumours have been flying around this morning, and luckily enough I had the opportunity to speak to him.

"Ryan confirmed that he has been struggling with a little injury. He didn't specify what that injury was, but he said he has been advised to take a bit of time off, get it seen to, and get the experts to have a look at it.

"So, for the foreseeable future, he will be on the sidelines while that is being attended to. As soon as it's sorted, he will be back in action. That's what he told me this morning."
