Akeed Mofeed (事事為王; foaled 14 February 2009) is a Thoroughbred racehorse trained in Ireland by John Oxx and arrived in Hong Kong in 2012. In Hong Kong he was trained by Richard Gibson.[1] He is notable for winning the BMW Hong Kong Derby 2013 and the Longines Hong Kong Cup 2013.[2]
Born on 14 February 2009 in England, Akeed Mofeed is sired by Dubawi, a three-time Group 1 winner whose renowned offspring include Dubai World Cup winner Monterosso and Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Sprint winner Lucky Nine. Before arriving in Hong Kong, Akeed Mofeed finished 4th in the Irish Derby 2012 and thereafter won a listed race, the Platinum Stakes.[3] With great expectations from the media, Akeed Mofeed opened its account by winning an 1800m Class 2 race in early March 2013 and subsequently sealed its status as the best local 4-year-old of the year by capturing victory in the BMW Hong Kong Derby 2013.[4] Akeed Mofeed is also the 1st runner-up of the G2 LONGINES Jockey Club Cup (2000m) at Sha Tin racecourse on Sunday, 17 November, losing only by a diminishing head to Endowing, the champion.[5] On 8 December 2013, Akeed Mofeed was crowned champion of G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Cup.[6]
Akeed Mofeed was invited to represent Hong Kong in the Dubai World Cup Carnival and competed in the most prestigious race, G1 Dubai World Cup (2000M – “Tapeta”) on 29 March 2014. He finished fifth among sixteen runners and won a prize of US$300,000.[7]
Retirement
Originally planned to make a start in the 2014 Queen Elizabeth II Cup upon his return from Dubai, Akeed Mofeed would sustain a tendon injury during trackwork prior to the race.[8] It would fail to recover as expected with treatment, and Akeed Mofeed would be retired in June of the same year.[9]
Stallion career
Post retirement, Akeed Mofeed started at stud as a stallion at owner Pan Sutong's Goldin Farms, Lindsay Park in South Australia.[10] He would briefly relocate to Swettenham Stud in Victoria in 2019[11] before returning to Goldin Farms in 2021.[12] After his owner's bankruptcy in 2022,[13] he moved to stand at Cornerstone Stud,[14][15] later moving to Rosden Park in 2024.[16]
As of 28th April 2026, Akeed Mofeed stands at AUD$2200, having sired several stakes winners. His most successful progeny are The Amazonian with a win in the Group Three SA Fillies Classic, and Assertive Approach with wins in the Listed Lightning Stakes and the Carlyon Stakes.[17]
