Cellsabeel (2 f Hinchinbrook - Our Egyptian Raine by Desert Sun) became the latest juvenile winner for Ciaron Maher and David Eustace when she dispatched a classy field in the Iron Jack Handicap (1100m) at Rosehill on Saturday. 

The filly becomes the 11th two-year-old winner of the season for the stable, including Away Game (Snitzel) who landed the Magic Millions 2YO Classic (RL, 1200m) at the Gold Coast last weekend. 

"We have had a big opinion of her right from the start," Maher said.

"She has always been a high quality horse and she will head to the Slipper along with Away Game while Rathlin (who finished sixth in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic) will head to the Blue Diamond."

Purchased by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Maktoum for $400,000 from the Cressfield Stud draft the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, the filly is out of the Group 1-winning mare Our Egyptian Raine, making her a half-sister to Group 3 winner Egyptian Symbol (Stratum) and a further five winners. 

Further back this is family of Listed winner and Group 1 placed Egyptian RA (Woodborough).

Our Egyptian Raine has a yearling colt by All Too Hard (Casino Prince) and a colt foal by Headwater (Exceed And Excel). 

The late Yarraman Park stallion Hinchinbrook (Fastnet Rock) enjoyed a lucrative Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, with 17 of his yearlings selling for an aggregate of $4,395,000 at an average of $258,529. 

The stallion was also responsible for the fourth high-priced lot of the week, when James Bester Bloodstock and Coolmore's Tom Magnier parted with  $1,150,000 for a colt by the sire from the Yarraman Park Stud draft - where Hinchinbrook stood before his death in 2018. 

The stallion has 18 lots catalogued at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale next month, while he has 12 yearlings set to go under the hammer at the Inglis Premier Yearling which gets underway in Melbourne on March 1.
