Multiple Grade One-winning jockey Jamie Moore has announced his retirement from riding at the age of 39.
Moore, who will forever be remembered for his joyous partnership with former Champion Chase star Sire De Grugy, has been off the track since suffering a fracture of his T7 vertebra in a fall in November.
Moore rode a total of 968 British winners, including seven Grade One victories, from over 8,000 career rides.
He spent a large majority of his career as the number one choice to ride for his father Gary over jumps, with Sire De Grugy landing a famous success at the Cheltenham Festival in 2014.

McCoy to Moore: ‘An absolute pleasure riding with you mate’
“We had some great time together, including a trip to Las Vegas when I told you I’d take you if Synchronised won the Gold Cup because you got banned a couple of days earlier and you were giving out a little bit.
“Just want to wish you all the best. It’s been an absolute pleasure riding with you and being mates with you.
“I’m just glad you’re retiring in one piece. Enjoy the next few days and I’ll see you very soon.”
