Shaun and Hazel Fannin may be without their star jumper Jesko this year, but Fourty Eight may fill that void following his impressive win in the Dr John D. Moore Memorial Open Steeplechase (3800m) at Wanganui on Sunday.
Shaun Fannin has dominated the New Zealand jumps jockey ranks in recent years, but he is now passing on the baton after confirming his retirement from riding over fences.
Shaun and Hazel Fannin’s pair of talented jumpers in Jesko and Fourty Eight will clash for the first time over fences in Sunday’s hotly-contested Ben and Ryan Foote Great New Zealand Steeplechase (6200m) at Te Aroha.
