Ridgemont’s G1 Computaform Sprint/G2 Hawaii Stakes winning sire Rafeef enjoyed more big race success at Turffontein on Saturday.
His son Cats Pajamas emulated his sire when he won Saturday’s G2 TAB Hawaii Stakes (1400m) with Rafeef himself having won the Hawaii Stakes back in 2017.

Now in the care of Nathan Kozen, four-year-old Cats Pajamas benefitted from a fine ride from Richard Fourie.
After enduring a false start, Fourie let Cats Pajamas settle just off the speed, before asking his mount the question with 250m left to run.
From there, Cats Pajamas kept galloping strongly and he stayed on to win by more than two lengths.

Bred by Wilgerbosdrift & Mauritzfontein, Cats Pajamas races for Sid Moodley.
The gelding, who was a R600 000 buy from the 2023 National Yearling Sale, is out of the Var mare Sea Cat and is thus bred on the same cross as such G1 winning sires as Master Archie and Thunderstruck.

His inform sire Rafeef is enjoying another good season in 2025-2026, with the son of Redoute’s Choice responsible for such notable black type winners Outlaw King, Aristotle, William Robertson and Secretary Bird.
