After a remarkable run in New Zealand that saw him notch an impressive 167 wins, Malaysian-born jockey Joe Kamaruddin is set to make a highly anticipated return to race day action at Selangor Turf Club.
Kamaruddin, whose career flourished across the Tasman, earned a reputation for tactical finesse, consistency, and a deep understanding of race dynamics. His success in New Zealand included partnerships with top stables and victories across a range of distances and conditions, cementing his status as one of the region’s most respected riders.
Following a hiatus from competitive riding, Kamaruddin’s comeback marks a significant moment for Malaysian racing. His return to Selangor Turf Club not only reconnects him with his roots but also injects fresh excitement into the local jockey ranks. This Sunday, he will be aboard six rides, offering plenty of opportunities to showcase his skill and regain his competitive momentum.
“Joe’s return is more than a homecoming—it’s a statement of intent,” said a club spokesperson. “His international experience and proven track record bring added depth to our race day line-up. We’re thrilled to welcome him back.”
As the gates prepare to open, all eyes will be on Kamaruddin—whose journey from promising apprentice to international winner now enters a compelling new chapter at Selangor Turf Club.
