None Other rates the danger to De Kock’s well-bred filly

No question Mike de Kock is a “Ladies Man” — the successes of Ipi Tombe, Igugu and Sparkling Water are proof of that. Another female who performed well in the care of the former champion trainer is Ilha Bela who retired to stud a seven-time winner.

There were probably a few raised eyebrows when this column selected None Other to win the Starling Stakes, but the daughter of Flower Alley has always looked an above-average sort and turned in a fair effort finishing fifth behind Miss Daisy. Rock The Fox — two lengths behind None Other in the Starling Stakes — gave Habib the most forgettable moment of his career at HollywoodbetsGreyville last July. In front of the packed stands, the young jockey raised his arms in triumph — like a footballer celebrating a goal in the English Premier League — believing he had won the Thekwini Stakes on Rock The Fox. However, the judge ruled in favour of Canadian Summer.

Whatever the fate of None Other, the Houdalakis stable should be on the mark with Munchkin in the second race. Owner David Shawe looks to have a decent sort on his hands and the Rafeef colt can recoup recent losses behind surprise winner Clan The Conqueror.
