Fortune keeps 'Legal Counsel'
The Mercury
|June 23, 2025
NDREW FORTUNE is an absolute master in the saddle and his talent was on full display at Hollywoodbets Greyville yesterday.
He warmed up with a masterful display on The Golden Goal for Doug Campbell but the cherry on the cake was Legal Counsel in the KwaZulu-Natal Breeders Mile.
Justin Snaith is on record that his runners would come into their own as Champion Season progressed and Legal Counsel gave credence to his views but in truth, yesterday’s race was always on Snaith’s radar.
Snaith
After winning at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, Snaith earmarked the KwaZulu-Natal Breeders Mile and the plan worked out as Legal Counsel was given a superb ride by Fortune jumping from a wide draw with main rival Cherry Ano ina plum gate.
Drawn wide at his previous start, Legal Counsel did well to finish a close-up second to Thisiswhatitmeans and MJ Odendaal’s charge franked that form, winning his fourth race in succession last Wednesday.
Fortune had no hesitation in going forward from his wide gate as Go Grayson Go set a decent gallop.
Crossing the subway, supporters will have been in two minds. Fortune had hardly moved so it was a case of; is he playing the opposition on the break or is the tank is empty?
It proved to be the former as he gently coaxed Legal Counsel into the lead and was not for the catching with a well beaten Cherry Ano touching off a game Go Grayson Go for the minor money.
How much did Legal Counsel have left, only Fortune, Snaith and the owners will know.

Transforming Trump's G20 snub into a strategic advantage for South Africa
THE announcement by US President Donald Trump that South Africa will be “uninvited” from the 2026 G20 Summit is, at face value, a diplomatic provocation. But beneath the headlines lies a far more consequential opportunity: the chance for South Africa - with its business leadership at the forefront - to redefine its global narrative, champion multilateralism and strengthen its position as a bridge between the West and the Global South.
