WITH some 350 mares covered in his first two seasons at The Beeches Stud, breeders must consider Mogul’s 2024 fee of €3,000 as eyecatching. He has the looks, race record and pedigree of a champion sire. An intrepid flat breeder might also see merit in using him. .

The 3,400,000gns Mogul cost as a Tattersalls October Book 1 yearling is a testament to his looks, physique and pedigree, and he lived up to that price by becoming one of the leading three-year-olds of 2020. Runner-up on his debut as a juvenile, he won easily at the Curragh before landing the Group 2 Champions Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown during Irish Champions Weekend.
