Barend Vorster - an SA jockey flying the SA flag who never gets a mention

This guy never gets a mention, but keeps on doing the business, despite being in the shadow of Joao Moreira.


Taken off the Singapore Jockey Club website today:

"Cannon Hill’s win not only cemented Shaw’s mortgage on the Causeway Classic Stakes [headline race today, Gr 3], but also sealed a charmed run in feature races for his jockey. Vorster was at his third “black type” win in a row, having also landed the previous two, Flax for trainer David Hill in the Group 2 Chairman’s Trophy on July 28 and Davide (also for Shaw) in the Group 3 Woodlands Handicap on August 9.

“We’ve had a bit of a good run of late and let’s hope it keeps going,” said the South African hoop."

Always been an underrated jock....great rider....(tu)

It's a long story but Terry Louw was the first man to be aware of Barends talents and was part of the family.
We went for lunch and the waitress brought ice creams for all the kids and Barend was the only kid having a cigar and a cone with smarties and a happy face :)o

He is a top boy and a very gifted rider!

He deserves all the accolades he gets, especially living in Singapore where the rent for an apartment is about $4,000 a month :
