LECK LANDS COMEBACK WIN ON BOARD TYCOON BOSS

S’porean jockey makes successful return atop newcomer in KL after three-month layoff

- 

KUALA LUMPUR - Clyde Leck returned to action at Selangor Turf Club on Dec #4 after three months on the sidelines, and he wasted no time in getting back to the winner’s circle with newcomer Tycoon Boss in the RM45,000 (S$14,000) Open Novice event (1,275m) at Sungai Besi.

After all the favourites in the first eight events of the afternoon fell by the wayside on the yielding going, the Charles Leck-trained galloper’s victory in the set-weight event was a scant consolation for punters — Tycoon Boss returned $8 on the win tote.

A four-year-old son of Street Boss, Tycoon Boss was initially sold for A$180,000 (S$154,500) at the 2023 Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

But he went through the ring again at the 2023 New Zealand Ready To Run Sale months later, and was knocked down for NZ$160,000 (S$120,000).
