Helmy lands first win in Malaysia

PENANG:  July 1, 2012

Just three weeks after making his Malaysia debut, overseas trained Mohamad Helmy has landed his first win in the country after piloting LITTLE RAINFOREST (Magic Albert - Arthur's Lass by Unduplicated) to victory in the opening race here today.

Helmy, who went to New Zealand in 2006 to learn his trade, rode 231 winners in his time there.

The overseas experience was evident when he got the Australian three-year-old home a short head in front of SUPERFLY SISTER in a tight finish. The winner paid RM302 for a win.

It was the first win in five starts for LITTLE RAINFOREST who has cost A$100,000 as a yearling, the first success for trainer Wee Meng Hua since he relocated to Penang last week.

Wee, 51, has been making a name for himself after being granted his A licence last September. His won with his very first runner YOURS TRULY and has since picked up 25 more wins since.

Sarawak-born Wee, began his career in racing as syce in 1985, gradually worked his up to become a stable supervisor in 2005 and assistant trainer three years later.
