Only Richard Hughes has won more races in modern times at the Festival - nine in 2010 - and Moore signed off with a double courtesy of Minding and Lockheed on Saturday, following his treble on Friday.
Moore, who won the title previously in 2009 and 2007, receives a lifetime subscription to Racing UK (Sky 432/Virgin 536 and 411/Freeview 231), a £1,000 donation to the charity of his choice, and a deluxe Goodwood hamper.
The jockey split his charity donation between Great Ormond Street Hospital and Daily Mirror correspondent David Yates's bike ride around Yorkshire, which was in aid of the Injured Jockey's Fund's Jack Berry House.
The late Sir Gordon Richards holds the record as the most successful rider at Glorious Goodwood, with 10 wins in both 1947 and 1949.
He also had nine successes in 1946, a figure matched by Lester Piggott in 1974 and Hughes more recently.
JOHNSTON TAKES QATAR GOODWOOD FESTIVAL TRAINER TITLE FOR 10TH TIME
Trainer Mark Johnston, based in Yorkshire, gained his fourth winner of the 2016 Qatar Goodwood Festival in the sixth race today when Hawatif took the seven-furlong Qatar Handicap.
He finished the Festival with the same number of winners Aidan O'Brien and Sir Michael Stoute, but had more seconds and thirds, six and four.
He thus gained his 10th leading trainer award at the Qatar Goodwood Festival, with his other titles having come in 2014, 2012, 2009, 2006, 2005, 2003, 2002, 2000 and 1998.
