IT IS D-day for star young jockey Mitchell Beadman, whose career is expected to go on the line at Racing NSW headquarters today, reports the Daily Telegraph.

It says: Beadman, 19, is set to meet with deputy chief steward Greg Rudolph and industry training manager Maurice Logue, who is also part of the Racing NSW apprentices' support group, to discuss his options after splitting with the Chris Waller stable.

What Beadman says could determine whether he follows in the footsteps of his famous father Darren and continues as a jockey.

But even if Beadman, who has shown ability by riding 33 metropolitan winners, can convince the panel that he is determined to be a jockey, he still has to find a stable willing to take him on board to complete the final year of his apprenticeship.

The teenager and Waller parted ways on Friday and Beadman did not ride at Randwick on Saturday. It is the fourth stable he has split with during his apprenticeship.
