Jockey David Moran will go head-to-head against son Pietro at Woodbine this season
The veteran Woodbine rider will race this year against his son, Pietro, an 18-year-old apprentice jockey. That’s expected to happen repeatedly this season but for the elder Moran, the first meeting will be the most crucial.
Woodbine’s 2024 meet opens Saturday but exactly when the Moran family showdown will happen wasn’t immediately known. “It’s a dangerous game,” he said. “An ambulance drives behind us every day in a race for a good reason. “Some people see someone on a horse and think it’s easy but you’ve got to be very fit,” David Moran said.
“Right now it’s not too bad,” he said. “I’ve had plenty of help within the school and here at the track to balance them both.” “I see plenty of dedication and that’s outstanding the way he trains,” he said. “He has done all of the grunt work, he hasn’t expected anything to be handed to him and I like that.
