JIMMY Fortune, with over 1,800 winners to his name, retired after finishing third on Nathra for his former boss John Gosden. He will soon start a property business with his two teenage sons.
Successful 16 times at the highest level, Fortune was retained by the late Robert Sangster and won the Group 1 Racing Post Trophy for him on Commander Collins in 1998. He did particularly well at Ascot, finishing as top jockey with five winners at the royal meeting in 2006 and following up two years later at the autumn fixture on Rainbow View in the Fillies’ Mile and Raven’s Pass in the QEII.
