Candyman – Cherry Or A Chump Ride?
Let's get real for a minute
If Andrew is punting he would be putting his boys into Justins horses who are winning at better odds he knows those horses back to front
There is no ways he blatantly pulled a horse in front of the whole world not even in his days when Juiced up would he have been so stupid
If a horse is ducked it would be way more subtle
Why is this race being investigated I would have investigated the Three Tigers run very subtle slow jump and away you go my Son
Betting drift and the winner shortens leaving the cape team dumbfounded about the drift
Anyway you can be sure this is going to be the most Dramatic Re Entry and Exit in SA racing history

To my knowledge "Bush Racing" was non handicapped racing, horses raced to win. "Official" racing, horses are penalized for winning, and raced to manipulate the merit

I used to be a big fan of Andrew Fortune but I'll be completely honest and say that he's past his best, watching him ride is painful as you have no idea what to expect, he looks like an apprentice and awkward in the saddle.
While everyone has financial difficulties, I think there's other ways for him to get by, not at the expense of punters, this isn't the first ride, it's just the first to be noticed, sadly.
There's plenty of jockeys out there that aren't getting opportunities that work extremely hard.
I think it's time for sanity to prevail, Andrew has a wealth of knowledge, surely someone can give him a decent job.
To be completely honest, top jockey in his prime, clearly not up to it anymore, it's time to move

Yoh this article is already running to 50 comments!
Many stipes are or were ex-jockeys, they would all be able to 'read' a race. Ex-jockey Stuart Randolph will be the latest addition to the stipendiary ranks in KZN, according to mr Ed.
Winner's time in this maiden plate 83.42 seconds - no other 1400m race to compare to, but the 1600m races were won in + - 96.5, so 83.4 sec seems a reasonably good time for that kind of field (?). True run race; with the third horse 4 lengths adrift.
Put a 4 kg claimer on Cherry next time - it may even be worth trying her in a 'weakish' filliies handicap, she is currently competing off a 71 rating. .
Mr ed - perhaps one of my bullsh#t

Sea Cottage`s win strike rate was 83% ( 20 wins 24 runs ) , not sure if the quoted win strike rate of 53% by Hear The Drums in this article has a " minimum runs " criteria

Hi Geoff
We spoke to Dean Kannemeyer after the poly meeting. He says it's even and fair all over and horses can make up ground from anywhere. Very happy with it.

In my humble opinion. That is Andrew's style, and it wins him plenty of races. He did ride the horse out the last 150m.
The guy making most sense is the Editor. Andrew spent a lot of time and money, not to mention his dedication and determination in losing all that weight to get back in the saddle. He is not about to throw that all away.
On a different note, I would love to hear some feedback on the new poly surface. It looked good to me with minimal kick

Bush racing sometimes a horse use to run twice in one day. Never recognised it as racing. Right term bush racing. No wonder a horse could win 50 times plus because of

Mark we also follow these horses not only you . That was a very bad and unethical ride. Field was weak jockey even had a chance for a front run in the early stages but decided to go on their pace. 400m was hesitant on going out all horses were out and he waited for long street. We might not have the power to take decisions but we're not

You mean victims to rob. A young hungry jockey is way different than an old hungry Jockey . I think it's best he goes back to Australia and clean

Common practice to bin comments on here. Always pushing the narrative in a particular direction. Wonder whether this will be binned? Fortune will be fine. His hands are moving and the stipes in Dbn are
