Former jockeys Loh Kin Kuen and Yin Tai Leong have begun on a new career as assistant trainers.

Loh will be attached to trainer Wong Kong Fatt and Yin will be assistant to trainer Ng Kok Hoong.

Both Loh and Yin enjoyed their fair share of success in the saddle. Loh last rode in 2006 when he booted home one winner from 14 rides.

Yin, who battled increasing weight for the most part of his career, last saw action in 2003 when he failed to land a winner from 32 rides.
