Mogul s victory in the Kong Kong Vase was the third win in the race for both jockey Ryan Moore and trainer Aidan O Brien
Vindicating Aidan O Brien s long-held faith, Mogul has emphatically underlined claims as heir apparent to Ballydoyle s throne after claiming victory in Sunday s HK$20 million Longines Hong Kong Vase (2400m) at Sha Tin.
Providing Aidan O Brien s third triumph in the race, adding to Highland Reel s 2015 and 2017 wins, Mogul downed Hong Kong champion Exultant and Columbus County to also give Ryan Moore his third Vase success.
Yet another son of Galileo, Mogul has long been touted as the next world-beater to emerge from O Brien s yard and proved his class by overwhelming Exultant, a five-time G1 winner and Hong Kong s reigning Horse of the Year.
