2009 I joined Singapore Turf Club with Local trainer Lione lee as a syce and also after awhile I learn to ride. Then I went to Track Riding course at Star program to learn more about riding and test to get the license to do trackwork. The when Basil Marcus the 7times Hong Kong jockey came as a trainer in Singapore I join his stable from track rider to C Grade Apprentice. After he went back cos doesn't suit here as a trainer. So he recommended me to trainer Patrick shaw a South African trainer. So after joining them as a C Grade Apprentice need B Grade Apprentice license. So with Patrick shaw I had hundreds of barrier trial for the test to get B Grade Apprentice and also trial its to get horse grade and test for the horse fitness and also distance. After getting my B Grade License I rode races for the stable. After with Trainer Patrick Shaw the riding master Demien and trainer Patrick shaw offer me to trainer Mark walker New Zealand Trainer so I accept and join him. Have a race riding with their stable too.
