Veteran Lloyd proves Able in Hong Kong Mile

Winning jockey Jeff Lloyd described his shock win aboard Able One as the “biggest moment” of his career after the Hong Kong-based South African teamed with John Moore to take the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Mile.

“It’s just great. A nine-year-old winning with a 50-year-old on his back. He might have been big odds but I’ve been riding him in his work and I knew he was going well,” Lloyd said.

Able One began smartly and took the trail in second place behind Flying Blue who ran to a clear early lead. Moore’s charge rolled back the years as he took up the running at the top of the home straight and showed gallant resilience in the closing stages to repel the challenge of the Roger Charlton-trained runner-up Cityscape by a neck. It was a further short head back to the winner’s stablemate, Xtension.

“The race unfolded for us very well when Flying Blue took it up and my horse travelled so well with the sit. It was almost too good to be true,” Lloyd said.

It was the first CXHKIR win for Lloyd, and the third CXHKIR victory for Moore.

Able One’s victory, in a time of 1m 33.98s, was a third major mile win for the veteran who previously won the G1 BMW Champions Mile over the course and distance in 2007 and 2010.

Hong Kong horses have now won the CXHK Mile eight times in 10 years with the most recent overseas victor being the Japanese raider Hat Trick back in 2005.
