Johan Janse van Vuuren provided the other notable achievement of the season by shooting up from 16th place to 10thIt is appropriate that in women’s month this August, a member of the fairer sex is the success story in trainer ranks for the recently completed 2019/2020 season. Ashley Fortune’s ninth-place finish in the national log is nothing short of remarkable when one considers that she did not feature in the top 30 for the 2018/2019 campaign.
At the time, this column described Andrew Fortune’s post-race celebration as “comparable to a footballer scoring a last-minute winner in an FA Cup Final at Wembley”. He had every reason to be excited — the first prize was R250,000. Interestingly, the same six trainers who occupied the first six places in the final log in 2018/2019 filled the top six positions last term. The only change is that Brett Crawford moved from fourth to third place, Paul Peter from sixth to fifth and Alan Greeff went to sixth from fifth.
Ronnie’s Candy provided Gray with a grade 1 winner when winning the Empress Club Stakes in the hands of Piere Strydom, but a good number of his winners were bred at his own stud in KwaZulu-Natal.
