Egyptian Ra sold to Hong Kong	7 May 2004

By Dennis Ryan
New Zealand’s best maiden, dual group one-placed two-year-old Egyptian Ra, has been sold to Hong Kong. The sale of the Kenny Rae-trained gelding to clients of leading Hong Kong trainer John Size was confirmed yesterday. Egyptian Ra has been placed in each of his five starts, the last two of which produced a second in the Ellerslie Sires’ Produce Stakes and third in the Manawatu Sires’ Produce Stakes. He is currently spelling and will enter quarantine in a week’s time prior to flying to Hong Kong. The Woodborough gelding is a half-brother to the class sprinting mare Egyptian Raine, who was sold to Australia from the Rae stable early last year after winning the Railway Stakes at Ellerslie and finishing second in the country’s other group one handicap sprint, the Telegraph Handicap at Trentham. Since then Egyptian Raine has taken her stake-earnings past the $1 million mark with two wins at group two level, one at group three and two second placings at group one. The last of those was behind Private Steer in the All Aged Stakes at Randwick and the Desert Sun mare is now in Brisbane for feature sprint events. Ken Rae, his wife Lisa and their partners in the Karioi Lad mare Egyptian Queen have a rising two-year-old sister to Egyptian Ra as well as a Volksraad foal due in the spring to look forward to. The 15-year-old mare, whose Al Akbar three-year-old Keep On Easy is a winner in Hong Kong, will visit either Stravinsky or Faltaat this breeding season.
