Firman Yap lands first win under new name

PENANG:  Jul 13, 2014

Just days after getting the approval to change his riding name to Firman Yap, the former champion apprentice (Yap Kim Yin) landed his first winner under his new name when successful on PERHAPS in a Class 5 - 1400m handicap here today.

Sent out a firm favourite after finishing second over 1300m last week, PERHAPS coasted home by two lengths to pay RM11 for a win.

It was his second win of the season for the seven-year-old after going through two seasons without success. The New Zealand gelding had a win in 2011 and scored twice the following year.

The most successful Malaysian bred BEAUTIFUL CHOICE added another win — his 10th — to his name when he triumphed in an Enrich Stakes A - 1400m event.

Costing RM100,000 at the National Premier Sale, the seven-year-old has earned more than RM1.22 mil in prizemoney.
