Ridgemont’s increasingly successful stallion Rafeef enjoyed some memorable results at Thursday’s KZN Yearling.
The former G1 Computaform Sprint winner ended the day as the Leading Sire by Aggregate.
Rafeef had eight yearlings on offer, with all eight selling for an aggregate of R4.385 million, and Rafeef’s KZN Sale yearlings averaged an impressive R548 125.
The son of Redoute’s Choice was responsible for the second top lot sold at Thursday’s sale.
His filly (Lot 156) out of Riqaaby was knocked down to Kestorm Investments for R1 200 000.
Consigned to the sale by Sandown Stud, As Agent for Shadwell SA (Pty) Ltd, the pricey filly, whose relatives include this season’s top three-year-old Eight On Eighteen, is out of a winning Dynasty three-parts sister to the Dynasty sired champion Bela-Bela.
Rafeef also had yearlings make R675 000, R625 000 and R475 000 at the 2025 KZN Yearling Sale.
The full-brother to ill-fated champion Mustaaqeem is set to be represented by his daughters Mon Petit Cherie and Beating Wings in Saturday’s G1 Ridgemont Garden Province Stakes.
