London-born Peters, 31, was
a track rider for late Lambourn trainer John Hills before he came to
Singapore in 2010 to work as a senior track rider for trainer
Michael Freedman. The Englishman quickly climbed through the ranks
to become Freedman’s assistant-trainer in July 2012.
Often deputising for Freedman when the latter was
away, Peters was also the travelling foreman for horses like MR BIG
and BETTER BE THE ONE when they travelled overseas.
Meagher, 32, spent 11 years in Singapore when his
Melbourne Cup-winning father John moved from Melbourne to Kranji in
1999. Meagher and brothers Chris and Paul assisted their father to
many successes, including the Singapore Gold Cup with KIM ANGEL in
2000. Besides riding trackwork, Meagher was also travelling foreman
for the yard when they sent horses to Dubai.
After the Meaghers left Singapore in 2011 with a
record of 577 winners including 29 at Group level (seven Group 1s),
the training legacy continued in Australia with the launch of a
training partnership between Meagher Snr and sons Chris and Daniel,
setting up stables at Eagle Farm in Brisbane.
Kuah, 40, is a former jockey who rode a total of
38 winners before he hung up his boots in 2003. Keen to pursue a
career within the horse racing industry, he first joined trainer
Hideyuki Takaoka as a senior track rider the same year.
The Singaporean then
graduated to the position of stable supervisor in 2005 before
earning his assistant-trainer’s licence four years later. Kuah then
moved on to work with other trainers namely Mok Zhan Lun, John
O’Hara and Sonny Yeoh.
