Rumours True?

How do you think SA horse racing got into the despicable state it's in now?
Way too many where too scared to speak up against the Jooste regime and the hierarchy and look at us now,racing for peanuts,owners leaving,punters leaving and confidence in our racing at an all time low.

We cannot allow someone to act like a thug if he does not get his own way - That's how the Mafia got it's point across - I'm certain if he just left the area as he was instructed to do none of this would have happened - He got away with this type of behavior before when many felt he should have been warned off - If he has no fear of the police then what hope do the stipes, other trainers , jockeys and the public have if he disagrees with them and decides violence is the answer. There are many voices on ABC that stood up for Racing openly during the Jooste era but none resorted to violence to get that point across.

NHRA set a precedent with Larry Wainstein incidents. so their hands are tied. GC could ban him from their tracks for Life.

Guess SAPS will have to decide if they pursue this matter.

Nothing will come of this.

Fortune will just sign an admission of guilt and pay a fine.

Even Vito Corleone knew that cops must not be harmed and that juries and judges couldn’t be bought. He, the cop klapper, is in trouble.

PRESS RELEASE


The National Horseracing Authority confirms that it is aware of an incident that took place at Hollywoodbets Greyville Racecourse on Saturday, 3 July 2021.

The incident between Stable Employee and Colour Holder Mr Andrew Fortune and the South African Police Services has resulted in criminal charges being laid against Mr Fortune by the South African Police Services.

The incident is closely related to the enforcement of the current strict protocols to ensure that Horseracing can continue to take place behind closed doors in a safe and responsible manner. Any contravention of the Racing behind closed doors protocols and the Disaster Management Act are seen in the most serious light.

After considering the incident and the disciplinary history of Mr Fortune relating to his conduct on Race course property, the Chief Executive and Racing Control Executive have decided that urgent intervention is required to ensure that Horseracing can continue to take place in a responsible and safe manner for the sake of all of its stakeholders.

In terms of the provisions of Rule 91.2, Mr Fortune is suspended and as such is precluded from attending race meetings until an Inquiry Board has finalised the determination of this matter.

The interim suspension is effective with immediate effect.



Vee Moodley
Chief Executive

Ja I told you guys this oke has got kak you can't go around clapping people when you don't like something and the police won't drop the case. Me thinks we won't see Andrew on a race course soos or ever again

i would use the wainstein saga as my defense. NHRA can not sanction him any differently?

they can and they will - In the other case Wainstein was provoked by a drunk spectator - here he attacked a security guard verbally for doing his job(prescribed by the NHRA rules) and then physically assaulted a Police Officer - Just as with doping offenses each case must be judged on its own merits - From the alleged actions I would think he has very little chance of receiving a fine again if found guilty(his previous fine will take full effect ) The NHRA would also like to look as though they follow strict Covid guidelines so his goose may be cooked all by his own design and lack of self-control.

And I would presume the NHRA would take legal advice to protect themselves from future litigation if he decides to assault someone else in the future on the Racetrack which they could have prevented.

Have been asked to ask

What Rule did the NHA use? Making it up?

No one can find a rule that bans some from racecourses but let’s them carry on regardless on the training tracks

AF is well over 50 with grandchildren and continues to behave like an angry teenager.

How many chances does one person deserve and people like Bob will continue to defend him.
