72nd stakes winner for Gimmethegreenlight

25th Jan 2025

South Africa’s reigning champion sire Gimmethegreenlight came up with his 72nd stakes winner when his daughter Wild Wild Green won the Listed Heineken Summer Juvenile Stakes on Saturday.

An impressive winner on debut, the Justin Snaith trained two-year-old made it two wins from two starts with a fine performance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth.
Under a strong ride from Grant Van Niekerk, Wild Wild Green unleashed a smart turn of foot to down stablemate, and favourite, Clair De Lune by a length and a quarter.

Bred and owned by Drakenstein Stud, Wild Wild Green is out of the Trippi mare Trip To India and is bred on the same Gimmethegreenlight/Trippi cross as G1 winners Gimme A Prince and She’s A Keeper.

Her multiple champion sire Gimmethegreenlight has had plenty of success with his daughters this season including such high-class stakes winners as Gimmefabulous (G3 Betway Mother Russia Stakes), Gimmie’s Countess (G3 Baker McVeigh Diana Stakes), Mary’s Greenlight (Flamboyant Stakes) and the aforementioned Wild Wild Green.

A son of legendary shuttle sire More Than Ready, Gimmethegreenlight had yearlings make up to R1 000 000 at the recent Summer Sale.
