meomy 971 Report post Posted June 13, 2020 look up his name and it's an eye opener what's gone on in his life. Became a jockey at 14years old. Brings back memories of what has happened to other jockeys and participants across the world with bribes. Clearly the guy needs serious help for ongoing issues.

Pam Robson 1,536 Report post Posted June 13, 2020 South Africa. He will certainly have Visa issues but as none of this was placed in front of the police, may not be a priority. A sad situation for his family / friends, a very talented rider, champion apprentice, drug and corruption issues have ruined his life and prospects.

I am sure the authorities have passed this onto the Police for assessment for a number of reasons I can see , most importantly the young ladies future safety , conspiring to cause serious injury would be a Police matter . I'd be gobsmacked if the Police didn't know about this . 47South and We're Doomed 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
