Yulong has moved swiftly to replace Vin Cox in the role of general manager of Yulong with Jun Zhang, the son-in-law of founder Zhang Yuesheng, stepping in with immediate effect.

Jun is married to April Zhang, the eldest daughter of the Yulong principal. April has been heavily involved with Yulong since its entry into Australia and is its director of finance.

Less than a week after Cox’s shock announcement that he would leave Yulong after just 15 months in the role, Yulong confirmed Jun has been appointed general manager.

“Jun has been an integral part of the business for a number of years as well as a familiar face on the racecourse, witnessing some of Yulong’s greatest days on the track this season,” Yulong said in a statement.
