Toby Moore, the son of multiple champion jockey Ryan, secured his first winner under rules after steering the Godolphin-owned Valdorcia to a clear-cut victory at Kempton Park on Wednesday evening.
The 17-year-old, who has plenty of experience on the pony racing circuit and frequently lined up in the Shetland Pony Grand National races at the London International Horse Show, is the latest member of the Moore family to attempt to make his name in the professional ranks after his illustrious father and uncles Jamie and Josh.
Having been part of trainer Charlie Appleby’s team since last winter and riding work alongside not only his father but the likes of Kieren Fallon, William Buick and Billy Loughnane, he was handed his first professional ride by the Moulton Paddocks handler, donning the famous Godolphin silks and finishing third aboard Valdorcia at Kempton three weeks ago.
Ryan More has been champion jockey in Britain on three occasions, has ridden more than 2,500 winners on home soil and secured more than 200 Group or Grade One victories worldwide, while earlier this year he rode his 90th winner at Royal Ascot.

Good evening,
Happy to have you back.
I do must ask that you stop referring to 'Melissa' as being a Tropical Storm, she was a hurricane, a category 5 at that. We, the Caribbean, have never had a category 5 hurricane pass through this region or anywhere else just outside it. Yet like true Jamaican we produced our own and tested on ourselves, as if it was the birth of Reggae music. Sadly, we have nothing to sing about, nor to dance to, after Tuesday, October 28, 2025, yet assuredly we will still be crying our losses, and praises to God right to 'her' first anniversary and many, many years (decades) to come.
