Apprentice Chin lands first career win

IPOH: Jun 22, 2014

After 14 months of trying, apprentice Chin Kok Keong finally landed his first winner when given an armchair ride by TOP GUN in the Restricted Maiden - 1200m here today.

The Australian gelding overcame a wide draw to win by eight lengths in a time of 1min. 10.7secs.

It was only the second start for the two-year-old who was purchased by his trainer Stephen Cook for A$22,000 at the Horses In Training Sale.

Chin was one of six graduates of the Perak Turf Club Apprentice Training Academy last year.
