Powers pay out on Moore after day 1 treble

Paddy Power have decided to pay out on Ryan Moore, a best-priced 4/9 favourite before the meeting started, as top jockey at Royal Ascot this week after he partnered an opening day treble.

Moore was successful on Gleneagles in the St James's Palace Stakes, and also took the final two races on the card aboard Clondaw Warrior in the 2m4f Ascot Stakes and Washington Dc in the Windsor Castle Stakes.

Paddy Power said, "This guy is clearly the best in the weighing room and after an opening day treble, we're drawing stumps and paying out on the ultimate pilot."

Powers have also issued revised prices on the leading trainer market, with Aidan O'Brien a hot 1/2 favourite (from 9/4) following an opening day double.

Richard Hannon is next best at 3/1, while they also bet 7/1 Sir Michael Stoute, 10/1 John Gosden, 16/1 Mark Johnston, 33/1 William Haggas, 40/1 Bar.

Paddy Power have also opened a market on the Sussex Stakes with Gleneagles priced up at evens and Queen Anne winner Solow 6/4.
