Golden Akeed Mofeed Akeed Mofeed, the former John Oxx-trained colt, struck gold in the Longines Hong Kong Cup at Sha Tin. Now with Richard Gibson and winner of the Hong Kong Derby in March, the son of Dubawi was heading for a gap up the rail under Douglas Whyte as leader Tokei Halo started to drift off the post, but the pair found their passage blocked as the Japanese challenger rolled back. With Cirrus Des Aigles on his outside, Whyte had to be ultra cool but found a willing partner when daylight came as Akeed Mofeed quickened well to collar Tokei Halo and score by a length. Corine Barande-Barbe's Champion Stakes runner-up Cirrus Des Aigles hung on for third, running his best race in four tries at this meeting, just ahead of Military Attack. Victory rounded off a great day for Whyte, who also lifted the Mile on Glorious Days.
