Trainer de Kock gets more Coolmore horses Gale Force Ten and Flying The Flag are the latest colts to make the move from Aidan O'Brien to South African maestro Mike de Kock. It has proved a fruitful switch in recent years, with Ballydoyle cast-offs Eagle Mountain, Archipenko and Master Of Hounds among those to have gone on to score at the highest level for De Kock. It was confirmed in August the talented Mars would be making the move and now Jersey Stakes winner Gale Force Ten and Group Three winner Flying The Flag have also been snapped up. However, Coolmore supremo John Magnier will be retaining an interest in both horses. De Kock said: "We are delighted in having secured the pair of colts and thanks to Coolmore for their continued support. "Mary Slack and Michael Javett have both been very supportive of our international ventures this year and we are excited for Jessica Slack, who has taken her first step into buying shares of already raced prospects at this level." Gale Force Ten and Flying The Flag will be shipped to Dubai for the 2014 International Racing Carnival and De Kock said: "Besides their racing ability and promise for Dubai, both have stallion potential."
