Andrew Fortune suffered six broken ribs, punctured lungs, a fractured clavicle and a severed shoulder blade in a fall at Fairview on 20 February, but SA Racing’s amazing comeback kid will soon be back on the racetrack.
Fortune put a few runners through their paces at Summerveld this week and told The Sporting Post: “Time may seem to have flown by. But I was in such a great tempo at the time of the accident, it knocked me. But, hey, it’s all part of the journey and was meant to be! Maybe it was even a sign that I should be slowing down, rather than gathering momentum.”
Fortune said he hoped to ride in races again on 18 April – 25 April at the latest, and noted: “I have visited the hyperbaric chamber regularly. I listened to my doctor and stayed in the loop at the Snaith team.”
