Ryan rode River Tiber to victory in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot

A treble on day one of the 2023 meeting took Ryan Moore past 75 Royal Ascot wins. And the Betfair Sportsbook will be boosting the price on a second Ryan ride on day two...

  • Super Tuesday for Betfair Ambassador Moore

  • Ryan rides River Tiber, Paddington and Vauban to victory

  • Look out for a Ryan Moore Superboost on Wednesday morning


Ryan Moore said in his Betfair column that he had good chances on River Tiber, Paddington and Vauban - boosted from 9/43.25 to 3/14.00 on the Betfair Sportsbook - at Royal Ascot and so it proved as he rode both to victory on day one.

The Betfair ambassador is heavy odds-on to be the meeting's top jockey and looks destined to deny Frankie Dettori the honour in his final Royal Ascot.

River Tiber's win in the Coventry Stakes was thrilling with Moore and his mount battling their way to the front and holding off Army Ethos.

Even better was to come in the Group One St James's Palace Stakes.

Before the race, Moore told Betting.Betfair readers:

"The manner in which [Paddington] has gone from handicap to Listed to Classic success this season speaks for itself and he was dominant and powerful through the line at the Curragh. He will need to step up again to win this, but you have to love his progression and he is another who comes into this race in a very good place at home."

Trainer Aidan O'Brien was jubilant as Paddington's victory meant he surpassed Michael Stoute as the meeting's all-time leading trainer.

The cherry on the cake came when Ryan led from the front to take the closing Copper Horse Handicap on Vauban.

More Ryan Moore Superboosts for day two

Paddington's price was lengthened to 3/14.00 thanks to the Betfair Superboost on Tuesday morning so customers who took advantage had plenty to celebrate.

Keep your eyes peeled for another Ryan Moore Superboost on the Betfair Sportsbook for day two at Royal Ascot.

Punters betting early on Wednesday's action can already get 7/4 about two or more winners and 9/1 about three rides - Sonny Liston, Circle of Fire and Johannes Brahms - all finishing in the first five.
