Ryan Moore cools injury fears

Ryan Moore has moved to play down reports this week suggesting he is likely to miss the rest of the season through injury.

The former champion jockey suffered a neck injury when his mount, Newton's Law, reared up and became trapped under the stalls before the final race on the opening day of the July meeting at Newmarket.

There had been speculation Moore faces a longer-than-anticipated spell on the sidelines, but the rider told his Betfair blog: "Regarding my injury, I would just like to say that nothing has been decided about my return date.

"As I said last week, we are monitoring it day by day, week by week but, contrary to reports during the week, nothing has been determined regarding where or when I am likely to return to race riding."
