Andrew Fortune – R5000 fine

The National Horseracing Authority confirms that at an inquiry held at its offices at Turffontein Racecourse on 20 January 2016, Jockey Fortune was charged with a contravention of Rule 72.1.25, in that he misbehaved and conducted himself in an improper manner by verbally abusing and threatening Jockey M Yeni in the weighing room after the running of Race 4 at Flamingo Park Racecourse on 27 July 2015.

The hearing of this inquiry was delayed due to Jockey Fortune’s witnesses being unable to attend the previous inquiries scheduled.

Mr Fortune pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The Inquiry Board found Mr Fortune guilty and he was fined the sum of R5000.00.

Jockey Fortune has the right of appeal against both the finding and the penalty imposed.
