LEZEANNE FORBES

Racehorse training is a tough and competitive occupation and things are even tougher when you are a woman in a male-dominated industry.

But Lezeanne has overcome the difficult passage of establishing herself as a competitive force in racing in KwaZulu-Natal and has enjoyed one of the most successful months of her relatively short career as a trainer.

Up against some very powerful stables, Lezeanne proved that she has the ability to match it with the boys and saddled five winners and another eight placed horses from a mere 22 runners to finish second on the provincial trainer log.

It was a clear demonstration that she can produce the goods when given the stock and worthy of the monthly award.

Well done Lezeanne.
