Renowned jockey Ryan Moore’s 17-year-old son is set to make his highly anticipated racing debut for his father's fierce competitor, Godolphin trainer Charlie Appleby.

Ballydoyle's top jockey and father of four, Moore – who is currently active – will take pride in watching as the race begins at 4:05 PM at Kempton on Friday.

His son Toby will take a 7lb allowance when he races under official rules for the first time on a two-year-old filly named Valdorcia.

Toby’s significant opportunity means that three generations of the Moore family are currently involved in racing.

Grandfather Gary continues to train alongside his son Josh, and they remain in excellent form, achieving a double at Brighton on Tuesday.

However, the future clearly belongs to Toby, who has a ride ready for him at his Moulton Paddocks base.

Southampton native Appleby is the leading trainer for Godolphin, the racing empire overseen by Sheikh Mohammed, the billionaire ruler of Dubai.

They are the primary competitors to Coolmore, the organization that houses all its horses with Aidan O’Brien, for whom Moore serves as the top jockey.

Young Moore, who was photographed with his father after last year’s Derby victory on City Of Troy, has progressed through the pony racing circuit.

He has previously participated in the Shetland Pony Grand National and has won titles in showjumping.

He will be competing against notable jockeys including Arc de Triomphe-winning rider Rossa Ryan in his debut.

The six-furlong all-weather race is a Class 4 event for two-year-old fillies, with a prize of just under £6,000 for the winner.
