For the fourth time, Ryan Moore has claimed the Longines World's Best Jockey title. He first won the award in its inaugural year of 2014, then again in 2016 and 2021. Moore has now equalled Frankie Dettori's record for the most victories.
Ballydoyle's retained rider won eight of the world's Top 100 Group or Grade 1 races, with his qualifying victories coming in the Longines Hong Kong Sprint (Wellington), Tattersalls Gold Cup (Luxembourg), Betfred Derby (Auguste Rodin), St James's Palace Stakes (Paddington), Coral-Eclipse (Paddington), Qatar Sussex Stakes (Paddington), Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes (Auguste Rodin), and Longines Breeders' Cup Turf (Auguste Rodin).
The awarding of the Longines World's Best Jockey title is based upon performances in the 100 highest-rated Group 1 and Grade 1 races as established for the year by the Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings Committee. The scoring incorporates races from December 1 of the previous year until November 30 of the current year, with 12 points awarded for a win, six points for second, and four points for third.
Moore will receive his award during the gala dinner of the Longines Hong Kong International Races on December 8 at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre.
