Description

BREEDER QUITS BREEDING! We are offering for sale this beautiful Keeper mare "Think I’ll Keeper" in Foal with a COLT to up and coming sire sensation Churchill. This will be her first colt! You can cash in here.

She carries a proven NZ family line. This family carries Champions in Anamoe & Grand Armee. Group 1 winners in Wylie Hall, Dealer Principal and Champion Hong Kong Sprinter Absolute Champion.

The foal in utero is bred on a G1 Gold Mine 20x20 rating cross not to mention the successful Galileo/Danehill nick, which has produced the likes of Frankel, Highland Reel & Teofilo just to name a few of many.

Think I’ll Keeper has had three foals, ALL FILLIES, the first by Kermadec needed time and is currently spelling after having her first prep. Her second foal (see picture) by Real Steel (son of Deep Impact stands at Arrowfield) we took to the Inglis Hunter Valley Breeders sale and whilst she was popular did not meet reserve. She is currently on lease with young and up and coming Brisbane trainer Jason Edwards. Her third foal by Shooting to Win (see picture) will be retained to race by the breeders.

She is being sold reluctantly as the breeders are quitting breeding both here and in NZ.
