South African Ricardo Le Grange Singapore's newest trainer

Ricardo Le Grange, assistant-trainer to Patrick Shaw, has been granted a full Malayan Racing Association (MRA) trainer’s licence with effect from 15 December 2016.

The 42-year-old has been allocated stables at Kranji, also with effect from 15 December 2016.

After first starting out as a stud farm assistant in South Africa, Le Grange, 42, gained an assistant-trainer’s licence from the South African Jockey Club in 1993.

He first worked with South African trainer Joey Soma before joining Shaw in 1998. From their first winner Kiwi Brooke, the pair enjoyed many successes back home, a trend which continued when Shaw, along with Le Grange, moved to Singapore in 2001.

From Day 1, Le Grange was an integral part of Shaw’s multiple successes at the highest level at Kranji, including a Singapore champion trainer title in 2011 and, of course, the rise to the top of Singapore’s most famous racehorse, Rocket Man.
