CC Wong leads the charge of apprentices

KUALA LUMPUR:  Mar 7, 2015

Apprentices have done well in Penang and Ipoh in the last few months, outshining the senior riders on many occasions. But they rarely shine as well as they did at Sungei Besi this afternoon.

In fact, they almost made a clean sweep of the proceedings, winning seven of the eight races on the card.

The one race that got away from the apprentices was the Metro C - 1600m event when Mohamed Nizam Abdul Jabah, who starts serving a two-month suspension from tomorrow, replaced the indisposed Sofhan Latif and seized full use of the chance to score on DEVONSHIRE.

Wong Chin Chuen, who is indentured to Dr Tan Swee Hock in Penang, combined with trainer Thomas Gillespie to record a treble, thanks to a revised ruling by the Selangor Turf Club that outstation apprentices can ride for other trainers, with the permission of their masters. Earlier, the club stipulated that outstation apprentices can only ride horses trained by their masters.

Wong and Gillespie were successful with TOUGH RULER, MARCUSINO and LET IT ROCK, with TOUGH RULER registering back-to-back wins for his fourth win in 15 starts.

For MARSUSINO, a six-time winner in Singapore, it was his first win in six starts in Malaysia.

LET IT ROCK was also winning for the first time in Malaysia in seven starts, after managed just one win in Singapore.
