Gary Moore has paid tribute to medics who saved his son Josh's life after a serious fall on the racecourse.
The jockey was in a critical condition and spent months in hospital recovering from the incident at Haydock.
Moore junior broke his leg, several ribs, punctured a lung and damaged his lower back when Gleno came down in a veterans' chase. The 30-year-old then suffered from a life-threatening infection, which left him in a coma and he required a ventilator to breathe.
Grade 1-winning rider Moore gradually made progress under the care of various medical teams and he was eventually discharged. Earlier this month the popular member of the weighing room reached an important milestone, when he returned to the family's West Sussex yard.
On Wednesday, Gary Moore gave Sky Sports Racing viewers an update on his son's recovery.
"He's grand. He's with us every morning for a couple of hours," he said.
"It's going to be a long, slow process getting him back (to full health) but he's doing amazingly well and we have a hell of a lot of people to thank along the way, especially Liverpool, the (Aintree University) hospital there. The work they did for him saved his life."
Moore was speaking from Lingfield where he won a race with one of Harry Redknapp's horses, Fascinating Lips.
The 6-4 favourite ended a run of places for the stable in the past week with a fluent two-and-a-quarter length display in the At The Races App Form Study Selling Handicap.
Moore hinted that in time, his son would be the holder of the licence at the business, which nurtured the career of 2014 Queen Mother Champion Chase hero Sire De Grugy.
"I'm looking forward to the day when he takes over," he said.
Moore added: "I'd like to thank everybody who showed concern for Josh. It was an unbelievable amount of people and we're just glad that he's on the way back."
Moore junior's fall came just seven months after he broke his back at Plumpton. He underwent spinal surgery and spent another lengthy amount of time on the sidelines.
Racing fans said they were pleased to see the jockey making good progress in his latest injury battle.
"No matter what happens in racing. This will be the best news this year," one tweeted.
While another added: "Proper racing family! Best news."
