Rakeen
Difficult to find info as he was sent to SAF. However I like his pedigree and he is the BM sire of one of my most useful, sound and profitable fantasy stable horses. Anyone have any info on him as far as influencing USA thoroughbreds today?

He is pretty well known in South Africa. I know him because Team Valor has quite a few horses in SAF, including some with Rakeen as broodmare sire. They are pretty nice looking horses. As far as influence on the US, Team Valor does import some of their better SAF mares for racing and breeding in the US, so you might check their website.

Alan Porter talking about J J The Jet Plane, grandson of Rakeen, winner of the Al Quoz Sprint (gr. II) over five furlong on turf:
"J J The Jet Plane is by two-time South African Champion Jet Master, a winner of eight grade I events from five to eight furlongs. In turn, Jet Master is by Rakeen, a son of Northern Dancer out of Champion Glorious Song. A daughter of Halo, and a sister to Devil’s Bag and Saint Ballado, Glorious Song is also the dam of the extremely successful sires Rahy and Singspiel, and the useful Australian stallion Rivotious. Rakeen won twice in three starts in England and was then sold to South Africa, where he won two graded events including the Allen Snijman Stakes (gr. II), and took third in the Rothman’s July Cup (gr. I). He was subsequently a very successful sire in South Africa, although a return to the U.S. for two years yielded little of note."
