DIANE de Kock is chuffed with a “Winx” cap, a gift from Josh Norton, former assistant trainer at the stable who has spent the last year working in Australia for trainers Peter and Paul Snowden in Sydney and at Yarramen Park Stud outside of the NSW capital.

“The cap is signed by trainer Chris Waller and jockey Hugh Bowman,” said Diane.

Josh, meanwhile, is on his way again. He will be joining trainer Mike Maker, the leading stable in Kentucky, USA, for a learning stint.
