Toby Moore, 17, Lands First Winner for Appleby and Godolphin at Kempton

The Appleby apprentice credited the Godolphin team after a swift rise from pony racing to the professional ranks.

Overview

  • Moore guided Valdorcia to a clear victory in a 7f fillies' novice, scoring by two and a half lengths at 7-4.
  • The success came on his fifth ride, following an October 10 debut at Kempton when the same filly finished third.
  • He told Racing TV the extra furlong suited Valdorcia and thanked Charlie Appleby and the Moulton Paddocks team.
  • A Newbury second on Miller Spirit last week was disqualified after a weighing-in discrepancy linked to a saddling error, with fines issued to the trainers' representatives.
  • Ryan Moore remains out with a femur injury and did not travel to Del Mar, with his son saying he was watching from home.
