Jockey Richard Fourie fighting fit after fall in June

Richard Fourie was on the sidelines for three weeks, only returning to race riding last Saturday.

However, the 28-year-old jockey says: “I’m a very fit person and, anyway, all I’ll be doing is pointing him in the right direction and popping the question when he needs to go.”

Richard Fourie hurt an AC joint when his mount, Jet Explorer, clipped heels and tumbled head-first into the turf in the Gold Challenge on June 7. The jockey showed no signs of stress at Kenilworth last Saturday.
