Description

DEE KEEPA (NZ)

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 the popularity of his progeny at yearling sale time continues to remain 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 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.

With her first foal due in 2024, 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.

Dee Keepa stands 16 ½’hh tall and is a good type of mare who is sure to produce a decent type of foal.
