Description

Dee Keepa (NZ) 2015 and Gingerbread Man x Dee Keepa b/br colt born 27.09.24

Mare being sold with a foal at foot

An opportunity for breeders or speculators to secure a mare with a cracking first foal at foot by Gingerbread Man. Gingerbread Man continues to punch above his weight and the popularity of his progeny at yearling sale time remains solid. Gingerbread Man yearlings averaged $62,500 (over 12 times his service fee) in Book 1 of the 2024 Perth Magic millions Yearling Sale selling up to $110k.

Dee Keepa (NZ) herself was a winner of 4 races and over $100k in earnings. It’s fair to say Dee Keepa has clocked up some frequent flyer miles winning races in New Zealand, before winning two in Victoria (including being a Melbourne metro winner), followed by a further metropolitan win in Perth. A daughter of Keeper (the same sire of 322 winners to date), who in turn is a son of Danehill, Dee Keepa has some breed shaping blood running through her veins.

Dee Keepa produced her first foal in 2024, a bay / brown colt by Gingerbread Man. He is strong first foal, with good bone and frame, and an easy temperament. He would prep up nicely for sale for his new owner/s, or grow out to race for the owner/trainer.

Dee Keepa stands at 16.1hh. She was not served in 2024 and will be ready for an early cover next year to the stallion of your choice.

All enquires can be directed to Davy Hanratty, 0429 326 904.
