Mogul (GB) (Galileo {Ire}-Shastye {Ire}, by Danehill), winner of the G2 KPMG Champions Juvenile S. at two and the G1 Grand Prix de Paris and G1 Hong Kong Vase at three, has been retired from racing and will enter stud at The Beeches Stud in 2022 under the Coolmore National Hunt banner. He will stand for €4,000.
Among those that Mogul beat in his top-level wins were the G1 Deutsches Derby scorer and G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe runner-up In Swoop (Ger), who he will stand alongside at The Beeches; G1 Epsom Derby winner Serpentine (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Hong Kong Horse of the Year Exultant (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}). A 3.4-million gns yearling, Mogul is out of Newsells Park Stud's excellent producer Shastye and is a full-brother to multiple Group 1 winner Japan (GB)-who goes to stud next year at Gestut Etzean-and the Group 2-winning and multiple Classic-placed Secret Gesture (GB).
“As you'd expect of a horse who cost 3.4-million gns as a yearling, Mogul is a very-impressive looking individual with a great walk and an outstanding pedigree,” said Robert McCarthy. “His dam has produced five black-type horses and there are six Group 1 winners under his first two dams. And of course, like Frankel, he's bred on that great Galileo/Danehill cross. We are very excited to have himself, In Swoop and Santiago all joining the Coolmore roster for 2022.”
