Rageese joined Vanbrugh and Turn Me Loose as new comers to Windsor Park Stud for the 2017 breeding season, and his first yearlings will be offered at Karaka next month.
Owned in partnership with Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Maktoum the imposing son of Street Cry is a direct descendant of champion race mare Emancipation and is closely related to Group One winners Virage De Fortune and Stratum Star.
He showed his quality early on as a two-year-old when runner-up in the Gr.1 Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) at Randwick behind Pride of Dubai.
In his classic season, Rageese’s spring form included a third in the Gr.2 Stan Fox Stakes (500m), fourth in the Gr.1 Golden Rose Stakes (1400m) and an unlucky fifth in the Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m).
He added further to his CV with a runaway stakes win in the Listed Nitschke Stakes (1400m) at Morphettville and this season he scored a decisive victory in the Gr.3 L’Oreal Paris Stakes (1400m) at Flemington.
