Fanie Chambers - Star of the Week

11 years 6 months ago

He was actually Star of the Week two weeks ago, but I was unable to post it before I left.

STEPHANUS CHAMBERS, or Fanie to many racegoers, is a professional jockey who did things the hard way. Despite his passion for horses, and his love for riding them, he initially studied engineering at a technical college straight after his schooling. Then, at the age of 23, he applied for a special apprentice’s licence and within 18 months reached his 50 winners, thereby getting rid of his claim and a little while later, he became a fully-fledged jockey. He has achieved a fair amount of success over the past decade despite some issues and was responsible for the 100/1 chance KING’S TEMPTRESS’ (ex-Kimberley) mind-boggling debut win in a Grade 2 on the Highveld in 2012. His best finishing position on the National Jockey’s Log has been a creditable 17th and he won back-to-back Kimberley Championships in 2003 and 2004.
