Lot 115 – Golden Earings x Gimmethegreenlight
Prepare to be dazzled by the allure of Boland Stud’s prized possession—a classically bred Gimmethegreenlight filly destined to grace the world of racing with her brilliance. In the realm of South African racing, Gimmethegreenlight reigned supreme during the 2022-2023 season. This exceptional son of More Than Ready not only earned the prestigious title of South Africa’s Champion Sire but also asserted his dominance as the leader in the Leading Sires of 2YOs and Leading Sires of 3YOs championships. Gimmethegreenlight’s progeny earned an astounding R23.03 million in prize money, a testament to their remarkable talent. The legacy of Gimmethegreenlight extends beyond the racecourse, as he has sired an impressive 14 stakes winners in the 2022-2023 season alone. Among them are Equus Champions Bless My Stars and Sandringham Summit, as well as Gr.1 winners Gimme A Prince and Lucky Lad.
His influence echoes globally, with his five-time Gr.1 winning son, Got The Greenlight, and Australian Gr.1 victor, Yulong Prince, now making his mark as an esteemed stallion. Now, Boland Stud proudly presents Lot 115—a filly that embodies the very essence of Gimmethegreenlight’s exceptional pedigree. As a half-sister to winners sired by Crusade and Noble Tune, she carries a lineage of distinction. Her dam, Golden Earrings, is a full-sister to the dam of last season’s Listed Champion Juvenile Cup winner, the illustrious Questor. Furthermore, she is a half-sister to graded stakes winners Romany Prince (Gr.3 London News Stakes), Surabi (Gr.2 Camellia Stakes), and the remarkable Gypsy’s Warning. Gypsy’s Warning, a renowned racemare, achieved glory in both the Gr.1 Thekwini Stakes and Gr.1 SA Fillies Classic in South Africa before triumphing overseas with victories in the Gr.1 Matriarch Stakes and Gr.3 Eatontown Handicap in the USA.
Another half-sister to Golden Earrings is Queen Of All, the proud mother of Listed Lady’s Slipper Stakes heroine Queen Forever, all under the influence of Gimmethegreenlight. Thus, the filly on offer is a sister in blood to the esteemed Queen Forever. Golden Earrings traces her lineage back to Gypsy Queen, a full-sister to Gr.2 SA Oaks winning sisters Noble Destiny and Royal Prophecy. This filly is a product of the highly successful Gimmethegreenlight/Fort Wood cross, which has yielded an impressive roster of graded stakes winners. Fort Wood’s presence is also notable in the pedigrees of Gimmethegreenlight-sired Gr.1 winners Gimme A Prince and She’s A Keeper. The daughters of Fort Wood have proven their mettle at stud, producing such Gr.1 luminaries as Capetown Noir, Captain America, Cherry On The Top, Marinaresco, Real Princess, William Longsword, and the Triple Crown-winning sire, Malmoos.
