Today’s best bets, by Chris Corrigan
Bookmakers will be hoping Ryan Moore is suffering from jet lag when he heads for Windsor this evening, armed with a fearsome set of mounts.
Moore rode at Sandown on Friday (three winners) before enjoying a successful trip to Belmont Park on Saturday (won the Belmont Oaks on Athena), then taking a red eye from New York in time to ride Gustav Klimt into third place on Sunday in the Prix Jean Prat at Deauville.
The jockey could well have several winners from his five booked rides listed for Monday evening, but his most likely successes seem to be Brigand (7.10) and Garden Oasis (8.40).
Brigand finished third in a Chester apprentice race at the end of June and Moore’s skills can help this son of Dick Turpin to deliver this time.
If Moore has already gained a winner or two by the time Garden Oasis competes in the last, Sir Michael Stoute’s runner will hardly be much value. But it could be folly to oppose this colt.
The opening event at Windsor, a contest for apprentice riders, looks a possible opening for Aguerooo (5.40), who ran well when fifth at Newbury a fortnight ago when ridden by Joshua Bryan, again in the saddle here.
