The long search for his
maiden win is finally over for apprentice Muhd Nawawi Ahmad (A Nawawi).
Not short of opportunities,
the Dr Tan Swee Hock apprentice had 71 rides last year for 12 placings,
including five second place finishes.
This season, Nawawi found
one to beat thrice before winning his 38th ride on NO UNCERTAINTY (Trade
Fair - Princess Camilla by King's Best) in the final event here today.
NO UNCERTAINTY was
purchased for trainer Chong Keng Leong for just A$11,000 as a yearling but
he never got to training him. The gelding initially headed to Singapore but
never raced there.
Shipping over to Penang, he
had just one run under Cecil Robert before Dr Tan took charge and he has now
chalked up two wins in 12 starts for Tan who is enjoying his best season
yet, currently lying second in the table with 23 winners.
