It was Irish Race Day at
the Selangor Turf Club today with three Irish business and organisation
sponsoring three races including the Barobyn Racing All Grey Stakes.
In the midst of the Irish
celebrations, two brothers teamed up to win for the first time as a jockey
and trainer combination.
Wayne Lim was granted his
trainer's licence earlier this season while Richard Lim returned to the
saddle this year after spending a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to a
disqualification.
While Richard has ridden
three winners across the causeway in his comeback, he has not tasted success
in his home country until partnering ROCK AND STONE in the final event
today.
The Australian gelding had
also provided with Wayne his first success as a trainer back in April and
the trainer has now 14 wins to his credit.
Sungei Besi based Irish
trainer Barry Brogan, who sponsors the annual Barobyn Racing All Grey
Stakes, began the day in style as he celebrated a double with FIRST LADY and
UPTHEANTE.
