DIANE de Kock has spent a few weeks in Cape Town and here she is, pictured on Wednesday morning with hard-knocking  three-year-old Like A Panther, third in the recent Gr1 Cape Guineas and being prepared by Mathew de Kock at Philippi for the Gr Cape Derby on Sun Met Day.

Di’s earlier travels took her to the Karoo, where she paid a visit to Graeme Koster’s Rosdene Stud to see her Horse Chestnut mare Silent Force with her foal by Grey’s Inn.
