Ryan Moore snatched the prize for leading rider at Royal Ascot in the very last race of the meeting when driving Bergo home in a close finish from Aajel.
Moore had entered the 2m5½f marathon needing a victory on the Gary Moore-trained runner after seeing Johnny Murtagh leapfrog him in the table following Laddies Poker Two’s demolition of the Wokingham field.Front-runner Aajel led the runners into the home straight but Moore, who had been narrowly denied a winner on Imposing in the previous race, was unwinding Bergo down the centre of the track.Bergo, running in the colours of Sam Sangster having previously been owned by warned-off-punter Harry Findlay, came charging at the leader and overhauled him inside the final furlong to give
Moore victory with his final chance.This was
Moore’s fourth winner of the week following Strawberrydaiquiri, Harbinger and Rainfall. The British champion jockey had also ridden five seconds - Imposing, Himalya, Reckless Reward, Dick Turpin and London Stripe - which saw him pip Murtagh on a countback.Murtagh enjoyed a superb final two days of Ascot to grab second with four wins and Richard Hughes took third in the Arora Hotel-sponsored competition with three successes.
Moore said: ”That top jockey accolade doesn’t mean a lot to me compared to riding my dad his first Royal Ascot winner which is more important.”Richard Hannon was crowned leading trainer at the meeting, his three winners matching those of Aidan O’Brien, who registered two second place finishes while Hannon had five.Leading Royal
