The 49-year-old - or to use a racing phrase, a rising 50-year-old - finished last season as the top jockey in the South Island, collecting 65 wins across the season.
Not only did the total give Moseley the South Island premiership - two ahead of Samantha Wynne on 63 - but it is comfortably his highest tally in 33 seasons of riding.
Moseley had never cracked 50 wins prior to this season. He had reached his previous best of 48 wins in 1995-96, 2000-01 and 2004-05.
Most importantly for Moseley, the 65 wins nudged him closer to his ultimate goal - reaching 1000 career wins in New Zealand.
"I should get my 1000th this season all going well,'' the Christchurch-based jockey said yesterday.
"That's probably been the major goal - that will mean a lot to me. A lot of good jockeys haven't got into the 1000 [wins] club.''
With wins comes consistency, and Moseley's strike rate this season of a winner every 8.94 rides is his best since he began riding in the 1983-84 season.
"I've been very lucky this year,'' he said.
"With Kenny Rae's team - I won five on Kaharau - he's been a good supporter through the season.
"But I've had a lot of good support right throughout the season and that's the guts of it. You're only as good as the support you get.''
The $894,917 in stakes earned by Moseley's mounts last season was boosted by his four group and listed wins - only one off his career best of five in 2002-03.
Moseley teamed up with Kaharau to win the Dunedin Gold Cup in February, and Replique to win the Southland Guineas later that month.
A feature win in the listed Airfreight Stakes aboard Honor That was followed up by Zigwig's win in the Champagne stakes for trainer Nick Wigley, who also trained Replique.
Wigley provided Moseley with a late-season highlight on Saturday, giving him the ride on Oh Romeo who thrashed his rivals by 8½ lengths on debut at Ashburton on Saturday. The son of Foreplay, who became a 4yr-old yesterday, left quite an impression on Moseley.
"I don't know if he's going to get sold or not, but I did say to Nick he's one of the best horses I've ridden in a long time,'' he said.
"I'd have to go back to the likes of Courier Bay - I'm not saying he's as good as Courier Bay but I think he's the best horse I've ridden in a long, long time.
"You can turn around and say he didn't beat a stellar field but he still won very emphatically and that's all you can ask from a horse.''
Even after more than three decades of riding, Moseley has plenty of fire left in his belly.
"The body's good and I've really enjoyed my riding this season which is another factor,'' he said.
"Sometimes you get a little mundane about it, but I've really enjoyed it and that's really helped with the travelling.
"The only thing missing is a group 1 but they're a bit hard to come by.''
