The Annabel Neasham-trained Mo’unga started his career in Sydney with expat trainer Chris Waller, and has won four of seven starts, most notably the Rosehill Guineas last weekend.
Mo’unga’s first group one win netted his owners AU$351,000 (NZ$380,000), increasing his career earnings to $759,000.

“It’s actually quite weird having a horse named after you, but it’s been awesome,” Mo’unga said.
“It’s giving me something else to do in the weekends. When Mo’unga is racing, just really getting on my feet and cheering him home.”
