Inspiral’s owners Cheveley Park Stud had made clear they were assessing their options over the rider for a hat-trick bid in Sunday’s Prix Jacques Le Marois, live on Sky Sports Racing; Ryan Moore selected to replace Kieran Shoemark
Ryan Moore will ride Inspiral when she attempts to land a hat-trick in the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville.
Trained by John and Thady Gosden, the five-year-old is bidding to score at the highest level for the fourth successive season and she returns to familiar territory having claimed the mile Group One on the Normandy Coast in the past two seasons.
She was ridden by Frankie Dettori for both those victories but since his switch to America, the daughter of Frankel has been ridden by Kieran Shoemark in her two outings this season.
On those occasions she has failed to sparkle in both the Lockinge and when upped to 10 furlongs for the Prince Of Wales’ Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Now keen to use the best available option in the weighing room, owners Cheveley Park Stud have called upon an old ally to don the famous red, white and blue silks aboard Inspiral, with Moore getting the leg-up on Sunday afternoon.
Ryan Moore rides Inspiral in the Prix Jacques Le Marois on Sunday,” said Cheveley Park Stud’s managing director Chris Richardson.
