Ryan Moore has been confirmed to ride the Derby third in the Saudi Handicap, a high-profile race set to take place later this month. The jockey, known for his success in major Flat races, will partner the horse that finished third in the Epsom Derby, offering a strong chance in the competitive handicap.
The Saudi Handicap, a valuable contest on the international calendar, has attracted a quality field. Moore's mount, whose identity has not been officially disclosed, is expected to be among the leading contenders following his creditable Derby performance.
Trainer connections have expressed optimism about the horse's condition, noting that the step back in class and the longer break since the Derby could work in their favour. The race is scheduled for later this month at a venue yet to be confirmed.
