Varsfontein Stud’s Gimmethegreenlight is South Africa’s Champion Sire of 2020-2021, and the outstanding son of More Than Ready ended the past season on the perfect note when Gimmethegreenlight’s daughter She’s A Keeper romped home to record a brilliant win in Saturday’s G2 Kuda Gold Bracelet (2000m) at Hollywoodbets Greyville -the final graded race of the 2020-2021 racing season.

The talented four-year-old, bred and owned by the Missing U Syndicate, showed her class when destroying a top-class field to win the Hollywoodbets Greyville feature as she liked.

Under S’Manga Khumalo, the Gareth Van Zyl trained She’s A Keeper raced midfield for much of the race before hitting the front 200m from home.

From there, the race was never in danger, and She’s A Keeper went on to record a facile four length win.
She’s A Keeper, who is out of the Trippi mare Gold Trip, has now won six of just eight starts, with her earlier triumphs including both the 2021 G2 World Sports Betting 1900 and 2021 Listed World Sports Betting The Scarlet Lady.
The 2021 Kuda Gold Bracelet was another triumph for Gimmethegreenlight, with the G1 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate not only responsible for the winner but also for third place finisher, Catchafallingstar.

South Africa’s champion sire had a superb season in 2020-2021, with Gimmethegreenlight having supplied 12 black type winners, and his progeny earning more than R12.161 million.

Also Leading Sire of 3YOs in 2020-2021, Gimmethegreenlight has three lots on the August Two Year Old Sale.
