Rookie apprentice Gill lands maiden win

KUALA LUMPUR,  4 November 2007

Rookie apprentice Harmeet Singh Gill was on cloud nine today, landing his first winner in his 17th ride on ROYAL GENERAL in the Class 4, Div 3 - 1600m handicap at Sungei Besi.

Gill had only a third placing in his first 16 rides but rode a well-judged race to score on ROYAL GENERAL (Hayil - Imperial Chariot by Imperial Baron) who had three wins in Singapore last year but was transferred to Malaysia after some dismal runs early this season.

Today's run was only his third start in Malaysia under trainer Johnny B T Lim who is also Gill's master.
