Gypsy's Warning Bring $1,050,000 at Keeneland

FYI, Gypsy's Warning today sold for $1,050,000 at the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale in Lexington, Kentucky. She was bought by The Niarchos Family's Flaxman Holdings LLC. Underbidder was Richard Masson, my partner, who bid $1 million. I bid $900,000.

Other than Ipi Tombe, who topped the December Sales one season in foal to Sadler's Wells at about the equivalent of $1.8 million in U. S. funds, I believe the price for Gypsy's Warning is the best price achieved at public auction by a filly or mare from South Africa.

She will make her next and final start in a few weeks at Hollywood Park in the Matriarch Stakes, the premier North American race over a mile for fillies and mares on the U. S. racing calendar.

Team Valor will oppose her with its fast 3yo filly Summer Soiree, a Grade 1 winner this season of the Del Mar Oaks.

Well done Barry and the team u can certainly pick em

You should change your name to ''Midas Touch,'' well done Barry.

There was a forumite with the name midas touch. He use to tip pick 6's here on the forum.
Some mathematical tool he was using. Same as Loopy.

That's a nice sum of moolah!! Well done to the team!

Sun Classique was sold for $2m but a don`t think she was a SAF bred?

Sun Classique was Aus bred, by Fujikiseki (Japan) out of a Last Tycoon (Ireland) mare, so she's highly international all in all. She went back to Australia I believe ... does anyone know how she did there? Did she have any foals?
