Horse Racing: Prom Queen canters home

Former two-time Singapore Horse of the Year Super Easy has made a perfect start to his stallion career.

The New Zealand-bred son of Darci Brahma was represented by his first runner on Saturday and Prom Queen duly got the Hallmark Stud resident on the board.

The Ken and Lisa Rae-trained filly had won both of her lead-up trials in the hands of Alysha Collett, who also guided her to an easy two-length defeat of the favourite Kiwi Ida in the NZB Ready to Run Sale Two-Year-Old.

"It's been a while since we had a decent horse and she reminds me so much of Egyptian Raine," Ken Rae said.

"I'm not saying she's as good as her, but she's has got that same attitude. She's a lovely filly."

Egyptian Raine gave Rae his first Group One success when she won the 2003 Railway Stakes and she also finished runner-up in the Telegraph Handicap before her subsequent sale to Australian interests.

Prom Queen, who is a half-sister to the Australian stakes winner Swiss Rose, is now likely to make one further appearance before she is rested.

"She'll go to the Welcome Stakes and then have a break," Rae said.

Super Easy is a son of the 2015 New Zealand Broodmare of the Year Parfore, also the dam of the Group One-winning sprinters Tiger Tees and Terravista, the Group Two winner Ball of Muscle and the multiple stakes winner Our Lukas.
