Majmu at Kenilworth- snapped by Matthew De Kock
Cape Town’s Table Mountain is said to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World and while nothing is ever a foregone conclusion, the planet’s Eighth Wonder may be revealed in Saturday’s Gr1 Avontuur Estate Fillies Guineas at Kenilworth.
The beautiful photograph alongside is of Sheikh Hamdan’s three-year-old Majmu striding along at Kenilworth to the backdrop of the Mountain on Thursday morning, 4 December.
It was snapped by Mathew de Kock some 48 hours ahead of the awe-inspiring grey filly’s first appearance in a Gr1 classic and appropriately delivered to us in classic black-and-white format.
Mike and Diane de Kock were also trackside to oversee Majmu’s breeze-up after her arrival from Johannesburg with travelling partners Ataab (Guineas) and Alboran Sea (Southern Cross Stakes).
Mike commented: “I am happy to report that all three fillies arrived here in fine shape, they took the trip well and we’re looking forward to the race day. I am particularly chuffed with Alboran Sea, she looks a picture.”
The De Kock family will be visiting Drakenstein Stud before lunch at Avontuur farm in Somerset-West on Thursday afternoon.
