Why is there a *"The"*  before the second *"golden moles"* ?

The word *"moles"* has been written without the word *"the"* in the title. And as I understand, this is correct because *"moles"* are plural nouns used for a general idea.  I think this have to be applied on the first sentence as well.

My guess is that the *"the"* has been added because the second golden moles refers to the title - but I am not sure.
