Rashpassing off the mark with Kiwi Maestro

IPOH: Jan 11, 2015

Rashpasing Mayur made history as the first apprentice from Mauritius to score in the country when he partnered KIWI MAESTRO in a Class 5 - 1600m handicap here today.

The 10-year-old gelding, who started second favourite in the seven-horse field, ran down the front-running COIL to win by a neck in the soft going.

Rashpassing is one of seven track riders from Mauritius who recently graduated from the Perak Turf Club Apprentice Training Academy having achieved a level of competency in various discipline required to become a professional jockey.

Four of them have been granted "B' grade apprentice licenes for the 2015 season by the Perak Turf Club.

The others are Daniel Jagasishan, 23, who is indentured to Chong Keng Leong, Muhammad Beelal Deenath, 20, who is indentured to Kevin Coetzee and Brandon Hansley Louis, 19, who is indentured to Shanmugam Subramaniam.

Rashpassing, 21, who finished third on ROCKET EXPRESS in his debut last Sunday, stepped up on that effort to win on KIWI MAESTRO for his master Nor Azman.

The apprentice course at the PRTC Apprentice Training Academy is conducted under the tutelage of various instructors including acting chief stipendiary steward Peter Dombkins, senior veterinary surgeon Dr Alistair Murdoch, equestrian manager Sheila Matthew and riding master Ismadi Ismail.
