Lot 48 – Comedy Of Manners x Rafeef
Lot 48, A Rafeef Filly Destined for Greatness
In the world of luxury, certain treasures stand alone — rare, powerful, beautifully crafted. This is one of them. Lot 48 is more than just a racehorse. She is a living embodiment of legacy, performance, and poise — a blue-blooded filly bred to turn heads, stir hearts, and claim glory.
From the impeccable sire Rafeef, one of South Africa’s most celebrated producers of champion fillies, comes a young star with every box ticked. Rafeef has already sired 16 stakes-winning daughters, including the likes of Mon Petit Cherie, Frances Ethel, Beating Wings, and Shantastic — each one a headline-maker in her own right.
This filly is bred on the golden Rafeef × Var cross — a proven recipe for greatness. It’s the same blood combination that produced Gr.1 stars Master Archie and Thunderstruck, as well as Gr.2 winner Cats Pajamas. In her veins runs the chemistry of champions. Her dam, Comedy Of Manners, is a winning daughter of Var, and a direct descendant of none other than Lady Windermere — the Equus Champion 3YO Filly of 2009 and dual Gr.1 winner of both the South African Fillies Sprint and the Garden Province Stakes.
Equus Champion Lady Windermere
But it doesn’t stop there. This is a female line rich with legends — the same family that produced Cherry On The Top, Serena, Summer Pudding, and Royal Aproval. A dynasty of dominant fillies. A catalogue of excellence. Now is your moment to step into the story. To own this filly is to buy into the rarest of racing dreams: the chance to stand in the winner’s enclosure at a Gr.1 race, to feel the thunder of hooves beneath you and the triumph of victory above.
When you purchase Lot 48, you’re not just acquiring a beautifully bred filly —
You’re claiming a passport to the top of the sport.
You’re entering an elite circle.
You’re securing your place among the discerning few who understand that true luxury is fast, fierce, and bred for the big time.
Join us at the August Two-Year-Old Sale.
