Brandon Morgenrood is to move to New Zealand and he could leave South Africa as early as next month.
One of the strongest guys in a finish – Brandon Morgernood will be missed
Morgenrood, 38, said: “I have been offered a job with Eoin Kemp. How it works over there is that you ride work for the first two months and then you can apply for a racing licence. I don’t have an exact date for when I go but it will probably be next month,” Morgenrood told Michael Clower.
“I wouldn’t leave if it was just me – I love Cape Town and it’s my home – but my son is now four and I don’t see a future for him in this country.”
Morgenrood returned from injury with two rides last Saturday and at Kenilworth this Saturday he has mounts for Brett Crawford, Glen Kotzen and Riaan van Reenen.
He said: “I was out for five months with problems with my left shoulder – tears in the supraspinatis tendon and the rotatator cuff, which is what baseball players get but in my case it was wear and tear after 25 years of riding.”
