Peter Andrew Moore rode three winners over jumps in the first half of the 1990s. He was a conditional jockey with Stan Moore, who trained at Thruxton, in Hampshire, and had his first success at Taunton on April 9, 1992, when Texas Clamour went clear at the seventh flight and, despite a mistake at the last, was in front by 15 lengths at the end of the Spring 

Conditional Jockeys’ Novices’ Selling Hurdle. 

Fifteen days later the winning pair returned to Taunton and were beaten a neck, after which Tony Charlton took over in the saddle.

Peter did not have his second win until Lingfield Park on February 2, 1993, when The Mine Captain took the lead inside the final furlong and had two and a half lengths to spare over Blakeway at the finish of the Alberta N.H. Flat Race.

The gap before his third, and final, victory was even longer, but at Ludlow on April 5, 1995 the five-year-old Mulled Ale, trained by Simon Sherwood, took the lead after the last flight and battled on to take the Burwarton Novices’ Conditional Handicap Hurdle by a length and a half. Twelve days later the pair were beaten a long way at Uttoxeter. 

Peter did not renew his licence the following season. 

Peter Moore’s winners were, in chronological order:

1. Texas Clamour, Taunton, April 9, 1992

2. The Mine Captain, Lingfield Park, February 2, 1993
