GOOD RIDES: CHAMPION JOCKEY TO SET OFF ANOTHER SALVO OF WINNERS AT FAIRVIEW
Jack Milner
Fourie to fire again

Vintage Crystal to shed maiden tag in Race 1.

Champion Jockey Richard Fourie returns to the Polytrack at Fairview tomorrow following a well-deserved holiday.

It was a remarkable effort by Fourie who worked like a trojan the entire season, travelling relentlessly around the country to eventually break the previous South African record of 334 winners in a season.

Coming away with a remarkable 378 victories, Fourie has set the bar very high for the chasing pack, but he could well continue where he left off at this meeting on the Polytrack as he has a wonderful card of rides.

In fact, he can get out of the blocks in Race 1 where he rides Vintage Crystal for Kelly Mitchley in this Maiden Plate for fillies and mares over 1600m.

This four-year-old daughter of Gold Standard has had many chances, but Mitchley has found the right race for her and with Fourie up she looks very hard to beat.

Of course, Fourie also has a number of rides for Eastern Cape Champion Trainer Alan Greeff.
