The demise of Andrew Fortune

This is very sad. I think Manne is top class. Pity if his demons are getting to him again.

The way I see it the horse was running on empty and was being nursed i dont believe he was posing as the horse hits the front going thru the 350m he starts to hang to the inside and although Andy looks to his right he never at any stage stops riding the horse out and only when he has to he pulls his stick and gets beat a short head,looking for your nearest opposition when riding a tired horse is hardly posing....the question that should be asked is on what grounds was this horse odds on????

@ Unhappy
IMO we have a bunch of toothless stipes that are intimidated by some of our senior jockeys therefore they would take no action against them. The so call experts on jockey ship will say "that's racing"

Titch your head is running on empty, your head needs to be nursed 'cos you got too much lice. What race did you watch? That piss that you drink is making you dumb.

Tero dont get personal ....you have your opinion I have mine, at what stage in the race did he stop riding???

Going into todays meeting Andrews last 30 rides produced 3 wins 4 2nd placings 5 3rd placings and 3 4ths hardly the stats of someone who is "past his best"

Tero totally agree - when in Cape Town has a jock been given time for the hand brake in the last year? stipes in cape town are half asleep

Blue would you care to mention when it was warranted??

margaret court at kenilworth on 2 occasions especially her second start - have a look at the replay see what you think

Titch maybe they should learn a thing or two from Mauritius where they dont play - anyway lets see what they do to Andrew for this

ya Tero - what difference does it make if its odds on ? wtf has the price got to do with it Titch - if it was not ridden to the line it was not ridden to the line irrespective of the price. Just so happens it was odds on and deservedly so as it was the blind school and it only got beaten 4l first time.

Cant remember the race but will pull the file on monday and have a look
