Big congrats to the talented Pietro Moran on winning the 2025 Eclipse Award for Outstanding Apprentice Jockey! Leading with 140 wins and that epic King's Plate victory — plus, we loved seeing your talent shine right here at Fort Erie Race Track in the Prince of Wales Stakes last season.
This award is one of the highest honours in horse racing, and to see it earned by someone who puts in the long hours behind the scenes, makes it even more special.
Here's to more wins in 2026!
