Peter Gibson of Racing South Africa has just reported that the Scott Bros-bred, Monsieur Mogok (Mogok ex Miss Madam by Dolpour) has just won in Hong Kong, a Class 4 over 1800m at Happy Valley under Douglas Whyte for owner, Robert Chung (pictured feeding Monsier Mogok carrots) and trainer Tony Millard, a son of the great Terence Millard.

Formerly the Scott Bros/Terence Millard combination proved a force to be reckoned with after winning several Durban July’s in the past with the likes of Devon Air and Illustrador.

Monsieur Mogok was exported in November 2013 after winning his only start in South Africa for trainer Tyrone Zackey.

Monsieur Mogok was a R30 000 purchase from Bloodstock South Africa’s 2012 National Two Year Old Sale by Tony Zackey.

Still an entire, Monsieur Mogok, has matured well and can improve further when conditions permit, in particular races over 1800m and further. He is bred on the same Mogok x Dolpour cross that produced The Apache, his dam a half-sister to The Eiger Sanction.

Mogok has had more international success than most stallions standing in South Africa, with Gr1 and Gr2 winners in Dubai and America with the likes of Gypsy’s Warning and The Apache.

His Gr1 winning son Orbison, who defeated Pocket Power in the Champions Cup, was sent to Dubai but sadly injury forced his return and he was unraced in the UAE.

Meteor Mike is a five time winner in Singapore whilst his full sister has won seven races at the best level in Kenya.

Mogok currently features in the Top 10 National Sires Log in sixth position, and produced Gr1 Equus Award winning Wild One.

Well done to the Hong Kong connections.
