The racing industry is in mourning following the passing of a true champion in West Coast following a race fall in the Waikato Steeplechase (3900m) at Te Rapa on Saturday.
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.
“I’m always happy to jump on Kevin’s, we’ve had such a good partnership over the years and you can always say you don’t want to ride anymore, but there’s no bigger thrill than riding a winner.”
