They also own Misty Meadows Equestrian Estate which is a major horsey venue / function venue in Pretoria East. *Very* big venue.

Some of his racehorses also spell there when not in training

It is interesting that the jewish community have not maintained the prominent position that they once held in the industry...........a great pity.

Although the once familiar Graham Beck and L Jaffee silks are no longer seen here in KZN, it is most encouraging to see owners like Roy Moodley putting in modest sums of money without greatly enjoying the success that the above-mentioned had with their horses in KZN.

Mike de Kock has brought in international owners in the Sheikhs from Dubai and others and it can be said that most of their horses race for the pleasure and not scooping all awards and stakes.

Mention must be made in the W.Cape of owner Hassen Adams who also invests heavily in that region in horse-flesh. He readily filled the gap left when owner IM Patel, who had many good horses trained for him by Mike Bass, passed on.
