“I have been in contact with the Hong Kong Jockey Club a few times,” Snaith says. “When there’s a job opportunity they do contact me, which I’m very thankful for, and I’m very taken aback that they think of me.
“The problem is, when I would have gone there wasn’t an opening and now I’ve got a young family here in South Africa, so it’s made it hard for me to make a move because I’m thinking of my family. Also, I can tell you that there are very few cities in the world at the moment that are as beautiful as Cape Town, so it does make it a little bit more difficult.
“But I’m always honoured when the Hong Kong Jockey Club contacts me and if ever in my life I feel that I can move …,” he leaves that thought hanging for half a second then continues. “It’s a big commitment to move your whole family, and at the moment I am pretty focused on trying to help our racing here get to a level that is competitive internationally. I’m quite committed to helping racing here in South Africa.”
