Lyle Hewitson is among riders who missed races during the Covid-19 lockdown
Champion jockey in 2018/2019 Lyle Hewitson, the subject of a large wager to regain his title this season, is one of a handful of top riders who could be excused if they raised their glasses on Monday — perhaps a glass of wine or a beer as they celebrated the lifting of interprovincial travel restrictions imposed on them by the National Horseracing Authority.
“We laid a big strike on Hewitson at 2-1 and have since shortened him to 15-10. Some small nibbles on Kennedy but nothing substantial,” said Michael. To ride in the Vodacom July and other feature races, Lerena opted to reside in KwaZulu-Natal for July. He missed many opportunities on the highveld, where his services are in big demand.
