Dam full-sister to Captain Of All

LOT 114: Erupt ex I’m Serious by Captain Al

Dubawi’s dual G1 winning son Erupt has been in fine form this season. The G1 Juddmonte Grand Prix de Paris/G1 Pattison Canadian International ‘s flagbearers this season include Listed TAB Gold Bowl winner Taxhaven, Port Elizabeth Gold Cup hero Home Reef, and Shoot The Rapids. The latter, runner up in both the G3 World Pool Gold Cup and G3 DStvGold Vase in 2024, showed his wellbeing when he won the recent World Sports Betting Highland Night Cup.

Erupt’s previous top performers include horses who have fared well over a range of different trips. His stars include such graded stakes winners as Karangetang and Moonlight Trader, Zimbabwean champion Buster Barnes, speedy stakes winning filly Ripple Effect, G2 TAB SA Nursery runner up Mount Pinatubo and World Sports Betting Grand Heritage hero Unzen.

Riverton Stud, who bred Erupt’s smart son Twenty One May, will be offering a very well-bred Erupt colt at the 2025 August Two Year Old Sale.

The colt in question is out of the Captain Al mare I’m Serious, a full-sister to the remarkable Riverton bred champion, successful sire and the 2nd fastest horse in the world in 2015, Captain Of All.

Winner of the G1 Tsogo Sun Medallion at two, the brilliant Captain Of All was the Equus Champion Sprinter of 2014-2015. His victories included the 2015 G1 Golden Horse Sprint (under topweight), and the 2015 G1 Mercury Sprint. That race saw Captain Of All thrash such champions as Carry On Alice and Legislate, and the champion was eventually rated as the world’s second fastest horse of 2015. Captain Of All, Champion First Season Sire of 2018-2019, has also enjoyed success at stud, with his progeny headed by such G1 winners as Linebacker (G1 Jonsson Workwear Cape Derby, G1 Daily News 2000) and Fiery Pegasus (G1 Wilgerbosdrift SA Fillies Classic).

I’m Serious, whose half-sister Intimateconnection ran second in the Listed Irridescence Stakes and third in the G3 Kenilworth Fillies Nursery, is directly descended in female line from the mighty mare Bonny Bell, whose numerous high-class descendants include such English classic winners as Owen Tudor and Orwell.

Captain Al, broodmare sire of the colt on sale, has proved as good a broodmare sire as he was a sire. To date, the champion’s daughters have produced more than 60 stakes winners including champions Princess Calla, Sandringham Summit, Proceed, as well as G1 Vodacom Durban July/G1 World Sports Betting Cape Town Met winning sire Kommetdieding and 2025 G1 World Sports Betting Cape Town Met winner Eight On Eighteen.

The Riverton Stud bred G1 Tsogo Sun Medallion winner Potent Power was produced by the Captain Al mare Solar Galleon.

Top class stallion Rafeef colt

Lot 172: c Rafeef ex Moulin Royale, by Rebel King – As Agent

The G1 Computaform Sprint winning Rafeef is a top-class stallion, who is going from strength to strength! Earlier this year, Rafeef came up with his third G1 Computaform Sprint winner when his son William Robertson won the 2025 Computaform Sprint.
William Robertson joins fellow Computaform Sprint winners Master Archie and Thunderstruck and G1 World Sports Betting SA Derby winner Aragosta as G1 winners for Rafeef.

The latter has had another excellent season in 2024-2025, with Rafeef (at the time of writing) having been responsible for six black type winners who picked up nine graded/listed wins during that season. Rafeef’s flagbearers in 2024-2025 are headed by the aforementioned William Robertson, G2 World Sports Betting Fillies Guineas winner Mon Petit Cherie, dual graded stakes winner Chasing Happiness, and G3 Dennis Drier Poinsettia Stakes winner Mai Sensation.

Rafeef also made headlines in the sales ring in 2025, with the son of Redoute’s Choice the sire of the R4.25 million National Yearling Sales’ topping colt.

Riverton Stud will be offering a blue-blooded son of this sire phenom at the August Two Year Old Sale.

A half-brother to a winner, this colt is out of a speedy twice winning half-sister to the top-class Mill Queen. The latter, sired like the colt on offer by a Danzig line horse, won the G3 HSH Princess Charlene Starling Stakes and found only champion Gabor too good when second in the G1 Thekwini Stakes.

Mill Queen’s dam Moulin Grise won three times, with Moulin Grise’ dam Mille D’Or a winning half-sister to the classy stakes winner Dance On Wood.

This colt is inbred to the top-class sire National Assembly, with this pattern producing smart performers Get Impressed and Joyful Noise as well as G3 winner Mai Sensation.

Magnificent colt – a must look!

Lot 187 c Captain Of All ex Nutcracker Sweet by Albert Hall (GB)

The Riverton Stud bred champion Captain Of All, South Africa’s Leading First Season Sire of 2018-2019, enjoyed a fine season in 2024-2025. The triple G1 winner, and Equus sprint champion, was responsible for one of the season’s top fillies in the form of Fiery Pegasus. Fiery Pegasus, who has earned more than R1.6 million, won the last two legs of the Wilgerbosdrift Triple Tiara in 2025. After winning the G1 Wilgerbosdrift SA Fillies Classic by nearly five lengths, Fiery Pegasus went on to win the G2 Wilgerbosdrift SA Oaks in courageous fashion.

Captain Of All, whose progeny also include dual G1 winner Linebacker and fellow graded stakes winners Shango and Springs Of Carmel, also came up with some smart two-year-olds in 2024-2025. Among his notable two-year-olds were Sister Golden Hair, winner of two of her first five starts, and Alta Capitana. The latter won impressively on debut before going on to finish a close up second in the Highveld Winter Juvenile Fillies Stakes, and she looks to have a bright future ahead of her.

Riverton Stud will be offering a well-bred Captain Of All colt at this year’s August Two Year Old Sale.

This colt is a half-brother to two winners including Listed Spook Express Handicap winner She’s Cracker, and his dam Nutcracker Sweet is a half-sister to G2 Golden Slipper winner Princess Sassi and Listed Syringa Handicap victress Secret Obsession.

The latter was sired by Captain Al, himself the sire of Captain Of All, which makes this colt very closely related to Secret Obsession.  A high-class racemare, Secret Obsession has become an outstanding producer with her offspring including the graded stakes winners Bunker Hunt and Salvator Mundi as well as 2025 Listed 4Racing Caradoc Gold Cup winner My Soul Mate.

Nutcracker Sweet’s dam Sweet Natasha is a half-sister to three stakes winners including G3 winner Triumphant Lady, the granddam of multiple G1 winning champion Mythical Flight.

Further back, this is the family of numerous high-class performers led by G1 J&B Met winner Bunter Barlow.

Besides the Gr 1 winner Jan Van Goyen, other promising two-year-olds for the sire included Listed World Sports Betting Dahlia Plate runner up King Prawn, and impressive debut winner Echo Check.

This colt is out of G3 Strelitzia Stakes third- and five-time winner Petra, a half-sister to Listed Spook Express Handicap winner Opera Glass and G3 Fillies Mile/G3 Three Troikas Stakes runner up Eternity Ring.

Petra’s fourth dam is the wonderful London Wall, the dam of legendary champion and South African Triple Crown winner Horse Chestnut. London Wall is ancestress of numerous top-class performers including champion Monyela, G1 Cape Fillies Guineas winner Sport’s Chestnut, and G1 Jonsson Workwear Garden Province Stakes winner Temple Grafin. In turn, London Wall herself is descended in female line from Conjure, one the most influential broodmares in the stud book.

Master Of My Fate has enjoyed success with this female line, with his G3 WSB Best Odds, First Caradoc Gold Cup winning son African Adventure hailing from this family.

This beautifully bred colt is bred on the same Master Of My Fate/Oratorio cross as the very exciting G1 winning Jan Van Goyen, winner of three of his first four starts.
