SO i propose one of the final chapters in this extarordinary persons life be done as follows.
Please bear with me what i am about to say is a bit out there BUT i can truly say with head and heart that
i only know 1 better jockey than Fortune. That jockey is a certain Anthony McCoy.
I propose forgetting about the fight against the weight, come to the UK for 2 seasons and become the 1st South African
born jockey to be crowned Champion National Hunt jockey.
Manne is the ONLY person on the planet that i reckon could dethrone mccoy. Imagine Fortune on these animals cantering
hard held, nursing them home. WOW
PLEASE think about it, its not such a wacky idea.

No expert and Andrew probably has no fear but isn't going over the jumps a different kettle of fish or discipline?
Or can a flat jock change to jumps at this late stage in life
Ps love the idea but then again I am not jumping over 6 mt fences for 4 miles in the driving snow and rain
