Andrew Fortune at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Friday evening (Pic – Candiese Lenferna)
In this exclusive episode of the In The Box Seat Podcast, Warren Lenferna sits down with the legendary Andrew Fortune for a raw and inspiring conversation about his return to professional riding.
After stepping away from the sport, Andrew opens up about the turning point that led him back to the saddle, the intense journey of shedding weight—dropping from nearly 80kg to jockey-fit condition—and the mental and physical battles that came with it.
He reflects on the support system that helped him through the transition, the grit it takes to reclaim a career in racing, and what his future in the sport looks like.
