Apprentice Tham boots home four winners

IPOH: Dec 14, 2014

Apprentice Tham Kin Chong took the final day of racing in Ipoh by storm today when he won four consecutive races and finished second in his only other ride of the afternoon.

Three of Tham's four winners were prepared by his master Nor Azman which put some shine into an otherwise disappointing season by his master's own standard.

Success with UNDOUBTEDLY CLEVER, LUCK SUCCESS and LITTLE BUT FIERCE late in the programme brought Azman's tally to 19 for the season, a far cry from the respectable 34 wins in his first full season in 2012 and well below his 26-winner haul last year.

With three more racing days left in the 2014 season, Azman will have a chance to improve his score for the year.

Tham, meanwhile, is assured of the Champion Apprentice title in just his second season in the saddle. He is currently sixth in the table with 26 winners compared with 12 last year.
