The 43-year-old Singaporean, who received his new trainer’s licence from the Malayan Racing Association (MRA) a few days ago, has been granted stabling facilities at Selangor Turf Club, where he will commence operations with a team of 17 horses.

An avid racing fan since young, Lim is no stranger to the racing industry, having worked from the ground up before kick-starting his training career at Kranji in April 2019.

It was, however, brought to a halt in July 2023 after an 18-month disqualification.

Lim left racing after that and took on a new role — manager in a chemical company ~ in the corporate world. But he did not cut ties entirely, especially with owners whom he bonded back in Singapore.

They were the main reason Lim chose to make his comeback after 26 months.
