Ryan Moore may miss the rest of the Flat season with a stress fracture to his femur.
Moore is retained jockey for Aidan O’Brien’s powerful Ballydoyle yard, with the Coolmore operation now facing the prospect of being without one of the world’s best jockeys for the business end of the campaign, with countless big races on the horizon.
O’Brien said: “Ryan is good, he was having plenty of trouble with his right leg since Irish Derby weekend.
“They were doing everything to it to try to get it right, but they couldn’t get it right so he went for scans and an X-ray on it yesterday. He has a fracture in his femur.
“Since the Irish Derby weekend he’s been struggling with it, but he’s been doing his best with it.
“When they found a stress fracture in his femur that was the answer. There is only one thing that is going to fix it and that’s time.”
When asked if he expected him to ride again this season, O’Brien said: “He’d be very lucky, I’d say.
“We’ve plenty of jockeys and the lads are all there, Wayne (Lordan) is gone (suspended) for Irish Champions Festival at the moment, but all the usual people, they’re all there, so everyone will row in.”
He went on: “Ryan runs a lot and they think it could be running and that might have originally started it. Then in Germany, when he was going to the start on the filly (Garden Of Eden at Dusseldorf), she whipped around and he landed on his feet and it could have aggravated it and opened it up.
“They have been treating him for a lot of different stuff, the back of his knee and they thought he had burst something at the back of his heel, and they thought it might be ligaments and all this different stuff.
“It was only when he got whatever kind of a scan he had yesterday that they realised he had a fracture to his femur, so that was that.
“In all fairness to him, he’s been riding for probably two months with a fracture to his femur. Talk about concrete, that man is concrete. But with a little bit of time, he’ll be back.”

Hrát se bude v Herningu a dalším městě, jež bude oznámeno později.
Shedeur Sanders’ provocative reaction worsens his image and leaves him in a more delicate situation with the Browns
Shedeur Sanders' reaction in the locker room, when he mocked reporters asking him about Dillon Gabriel being named the new starter while he remained the team's third option, appears to still be causing problems for him.Dan Orlovsky, former NFL quarterback and now part of ESPN's Get Up team, was particularly critical of the Browns player's actions.Shedeur Sanders looks hopeless as the Browns get blown out by the LionsI actually don't think there is a time and place to act like that as a quarterback. Everything you do when you're a quarterback - I don't care if you're first, second or third - is a job interview. My question to Shedeur would be: Are you helping yourself in your own building? Did that 30 or 40 seconds help you in your own building when it comes to what they think you […]
