Richard Fourie, who won the 2014 Vodacom Durban July for Justin Snaith on Legislate, has been booked by his old boss for the plum ride on Cape Derby winner It’s My Turn.

Jonathan Snaith said: “Piere Strydom was originally booked but he is unable to ride anywhere close to the weight of 53kg. Justin is very excited to have Richard up.”

The Daily News runner-up will be Fourie’s sixth July ride. He had his first in 2007 and, bar Legislate, all his mounts so far have finished unplaced.
