Description
An opportunity for breeders to secure a mare in foal to Gingerbread Man with a good cover which should result in a September foal this coming Spring. Gingerbread Man continues to punch above his weight and currently sits in third position on the WA General Sires table and has a greater winners to runners percentage than the two stallions in front of him for this current season. The popularity of his progeny at sale time continues to remain solid and Gingerbread Man averaged over $80k in Book 1 of the Perth Magic Millions in 2023 with an overall average for Books 1 and 2 of well over $62k which is over 12 times his advertised service fee!
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 dam sire of close to 300 individual winners) who in turn is a son of the breed shaping Danehill, Dee Keepa has some good blood running through her veins.
Going to stud for the first time in 2023, Dee Keepa has plenty of good years left in her and with her owners being keen sellers, she would surely make a welcome addition to any broodmare band.
