Aldo Domeyer on CHARLES DICKENS

Like father, like son?

Being the son of a famous jockey can be a mixed blessing. When that famous jockey is Andrew Fortune, life can get interesting indeed. While Andrew’s story is the stuff of movie scripts, through persistence, patience and hard work, his son Aldo Domeyer is writing a success story of his very own.

“Always thought a Ferrari was over-rated till I actually sat on one!! This is worth the hours through the cold and rain. Think we found something special here.” So read Aldo Domeyer’s Facebook status after SILVER MOUNTAIN’s debut win. How right he was.

It’s impossible to get away from the connection to his famous father, so we might as well get it out of the way. Andrew Fortune is known for many things, but while he might be loud and colourful on the ground, he is quiet on a horse. His ability to cut to the chase might land him in hot water with people, but in the saddle it’s a gift from heaven. An incredibly intuitive rider with an almost preternatural ability to read a horse, he has good hands, is a good judge and above all, has a God-given ability to make horses run for him.
