He then worked through the assistant trainer ranks, most notably with John Moore, and received a full trainer's licence in 2001. He achieved his best total of 43 winners in 2009/10, the season in which he won five races apiece with the griffins London China Town and Tai Sing Yeh. He won the Hong Kong International Sale Bonus with Great Achievement (2003), London China Town (2009) and Pleasure Gains (2014).
