However, it gave the elder statesman of the family great pride to watch the young apprentice in action – at a time of the season attentions were returning to the winter jumpers and Ryan Moore was sidelined with a leg injury. Moore said: “It’s been lovely to give him a few rides and it gave me an interest on the Flat at a time when I didn’t have too many left to run and Ryan was out injured. I guess you could say he’s lucky to walk away with a broken collarbone.”With Ryan Moore now back in action, the prospect of father and son going nose to nose on horseback is a tantalising prospect for the year ahead. “I suppose inevitably he’s going to ride against Ryan one day and I hope he does for their sake,” continued Moore. I have enjoyed it watching Toby, it’s given me an interest and something fun to watch.”
