“I was a few years his junior when we were apprenticed to Ivan Allan. We slept in the stable together. He was approachable, not selfish and taught me a lot. He was a skilful rider,” said Leslie Khoo, a top local jockey-turned-trainer.

May his soul rest in peace..A former glamour apprentice, he was the second local rider, after Ng Kim Chor in 1986, to win the premiership. He won it twice – in 1990 and 1992.He captured his first classic, aboard the Allan-trained Dilettante, in the 1974 Singapore Derby while still an apprentice.
More major successes followed – two King’s Gold Cups , two Penang Governor’s Gold Cups and the Sultan of Selangor Gold Cup .He duly won his first jockeys’ title in 1990 with 59 winners and the second with 47. He received RM10,000 for winning the first championship but donated half of it to a charity for the handicapped and the other half to the Malaysian Jockeys Association.
He represented the local circuit in the Asian Racing Conference in Hong Kong in 1991 and finished third in one of the races.He retired after suffering serious head injuries in a race fall on May 27, 1995, and later tried his hand at training but did not succeed.
