Grand international galloper Raul rounded out a memorable weekend of success for Magic Millions graduates when he won the Group One Yang Di Pertua Negeri Gold Cup (2200m) in Malaysia on Sunday.

Raul cruised to the line three parts of a length clear of Worth the Wait, while fellow Magic Millions graduate Free Spirit was not far back in third place.

A former outstanding galloper in Singapore, Raul, now a spritely 10-year-old, has headed to Malaysia and this year alone has won four more races for trainer Evert van Breukelen.

All up the gelding has won 12 races and placed on 29 other occasions and earned the equivalent of A$1.565 million.

The all the way win was the biggest and most significant in the career of MRA apprentice Lou Ho.

"It's the best feeling winning the most prestigious race," he said. "It feels like a dream."

Raul was sold twice by Magic Millions - Australia's leading supplier of international winners.

He was originally purchased by Barely a Moment's breeder Dick Vincent for $5,250 from the 2000 Magic Millions St Jude Dispersal Sale.

Vincent, through his De Grey Park draft, sold Raul at the 2001 Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale where he was snapped up by leading bloodstock agent John Chalmers for $12,000.

Earlier in his illustrious career Raul proved himself one of the best gallopers in Singapore by winning the Gold Cup in 2004.

He also won the first leg of the Tiger Beer Triple Challenge in 2003 over 1200 metres.

Prior to his win in the Malaysian Group One on Sunday, Raul had captured the Astro Wah Lai Toi Charity Cup over 2000 metres on November 22.

He had also won his start before over 1700 metres at Penang.

Raul, by L'Enjoleur's half brother Hideyoshi, is one of his six winners from his dam, the twice raced Beau Sovereign mare Whisper to Me.

Whisper to Me is a half sister to Perth stakes winner My Judy (dam of SP Centrepiece and grandam of Singapore star The Hornet and Perth stakes winner Parc D'amour) and the stakes placed Premier Gossip.

Further back it is the family of stakes winners including Irish Peace, Olive Branch, Scimitar and Brash Son.
