Most improved Yap lands splendid double

PENANG:  Aug 12, 2012

It was two wins from two rides in Penang here today for apprentice Yap Kin Yin, who is arguably the most improved riders this season.

After landing a solitary winner in his debut season in 2008, Yap failed to win a single race for the next three years which led to him being granted only a nine-month permit until the end of September this season.

But with his double on WORLD SUPERMAN (Tough Speed - Loughmore Lady by Northern Chateau) and SUMMER PROMISE (Perfect Mandate - Visionist by Bertrando) today, Yap, who is currently indentured to new trainer Wee Mung Hua, has brought his tally to 19 for the season, sitting on eighth spot in the table.

Yap was indisposed after his double and had to forego four more rides later in the day.

Wee, who moved his base to Penang last month, is also enjoying a good run of success, winning a double with FANTASTIC GIFT (Indian Danehill - Nanset by Bigstone) and SUMMER PROMISE. He is now fifth in the table with 28 winners.
