Singapore based jockey Greg Cheyne, who has fallen in love with the Sungei Besi track this season, has taken a huge step to winning the International Jockeys Challenge (IJC) at Sungei Besi this year.

The South African has made several appearances on this track this year winning 11 races prior to this meeting. And he made his knowledge of the track count by winning one of the three IJC races contested today and was placed second in the other two.

Cheyne took the opening challenge race when successful on CONFRERE in the RM75,000 Kenilworth Cup for Class 3 horses over 1200m.

Another Singapore based jockey Stephen Baster took the second event, the Royal Sabah Turf Club Trophy (Class 4 - 1600m), on IWA ANTILIA, beating LADY DIAMOND, ridden by Cheyne, by a head on a thrilling finish.

Former New Zealand champion jockey Lisa Allpress took the third event, the Korea Racing Authority Trophy (Class 3 - 1600m), on JOYFUL.

It was a win 12 years in the making. She failed to win a race when she last rode in Malaysia under hew maiden name Mumby in 2001, managing five placings in 32 rides.

Cheyne, who has a second winner in the final event today, goes into the second day action leading with 26 points. Baster and Allpress have 12 points each.

Three more Challenge races will be staged tomorrow.
