Rafeef – More Promise!

TAB Listed Perfect Promise Sprint

Just twenty for hours after siring his third Gr1 winner in the space of a month, Ridgemont Highlands stallion Rafeef was in the stakes record books again as his daughter Who Do You Love maintained her unbeaten record at her third start with an emphatic victory in the R150 000 TAB Listed Perfect Promise Sprint at a sun-drenched Kenilworth on Sunday.

A son of multiple Aussie champion Redoute’s Choice, Rafeef has stamped himself as the most exciting new generation sire and he gets them firing in all shapes and sizes over anything from 1000m to 2450m.

On Sunday his daughter Who Do You Love registered her first black-type credit with a professional victory. Easy to back at 4-1 in the face of the confidence in the Snaith’s beautifully-bred debut winner Ciao Bella, Who Do You Love was produced late in the race by Aldo Domeyer and stayed on best to beat Distinction (33-1) by 1,25 lengths in a time of 73,17 secs.

The Woodhill Racing charge Bonika (20-1) looked an awkward ride in the closing stages, but held on for third ahead of Miss Marguerite (7-2). A race review was called but no further action followed.

The beautiful grey Ciao Bella was outpaced and made some ground late. But she could only manage fifth and a well beaten 3,20 lengths behind. She could be a different prospect in the Listed Irridescence Stakes over 1500m on 25 June.

ASSM Racing Syndicate (Nom: Mr A Chadha)

A R200 000 National Yearling Sale graduate, Who Do You Love races for the ASSM Racing Syndicate (Nom: Mr Arun Chadha) and has won 3 from 3 for stakes of R206 250.

Bred by John Everett’s Narrow Creek Stud, she is a daughter, as already stated, of Ridgemont Highlands stallion Rafeef (Redoute’s Choice) and is out of the once-winning Model Man mare, Fair Enough.
