Jockey-turned-trainer Mogana Selvan a/l S Ramiah (NM Selvan) enjoyed his most successful meeting yet, winning half of the eight races at Selangor on Sunday.

Selvan made a promising start to his training career in his first season last year, saddling 26 winners to finish 11th in the trainer’s table and momentum has continued into the new season, with Selvan currently ranking fourth with seven wins.

With stable apprentice Azizi Awang at the helm, and also enduring a fine day in the saddle, Selvan won the opening race with BARBARIAN, and the pair went on to secure victories with CAVALLA COURT and ARTHUR PEGASUS.
