Royal Ascot 2021: Who Will Win the Top Jockey and Trainer Honours?
The Royal Ascot 2021 is set to be an exciting week of high octane thrills and fashion stakes. All eyes will be on the racecourse as the top jockey and trainer honours are closely contested. Ryan Moore is the 5/4 favourite to ride the most winners at the end of the week, but Frankie Dettori, who retires at the end of the year, can’t be discounted at 2/1. William Buick and Oisin Murphy are also contenders for the top jockey title, while John and Thady Gosden are tipped to win the top trainer honours.
Ryan Moore: The 5/4 Favourite
Ryan Moore is the 5/4 favourite to ride the most winners at Royal Ascot 2021. This comes as no surprise as he has finished Royal Ascot with the most winners nine times in the past. Moore jumps onto the saddle for outstanding trainers Aidan O’Brien and Sir Michael Stoute, and his record nine victories in 2015 was a remarkable achievement.
Frankie Dettori: The Swansong Season
Frankie Dettori will ride at Royal Ascot for the final time this year. He is in hot form this year, most recently registering a superb double at Epsom at the start of the month. Dettori was top jockey in 2019 and 2020 and is well capable of pulling another rabbit out of the hat.
William Buick and Oisin Murphy: Value for Money
William Buick is 10/1 with William Hill and Oisin Murphy 20/1 with Ladbrokes and Coral. Both have been first past the post on the most occasions so far this year, making them great value for money. Murphy, who was top jockey two years ago with five wins, gets the tentative nod.
John and Thady Gosden: The Top Trainer Honours
John and Thady Gosden are tipped to win the top trainer honours at Royal Ascot 2021. They will have a strong team for the occasion and are 5/2 with Sky Bet. O’Brien, Stoute and Charlie Appleby will be popular in this market, but the preference is for John and Thady Gosden.
Conclusion
Royal Ascot 2021 is set to be an exciting week of high octane thrills and fashion stakes. Ryan Moore is the 5/4 favourite to ride the most winners at the end of the week, but Frankie Dettori can’t be discounted at 2/1. William Buick and Oisin Murphy are great value for money, while John and Thady Gosden are tipped to win the top trainer honours.
