Keeper's prominence with his current three-year-old crop continued at Riccarton Park on Saturday when the Richard Collett-trained The Beekeeper (Keeper ex The Minder, by Personal Escort) took out the Listed Southland Guineas (1600m).

The Beekeeper is one of a trio of new stakeswinners amongst Keeper's current 3YO crop; the others being Keep the Peace (WRC Desert Gold Stakes-Gr.3) and St Germaine (Hawkes Bay Gold Trail Stakes-Gr.3).

Another of that 3YO crop for Keeper to shine this season is Finderskeepers, who has been placed second in the Avondale Guineas-Gr.2 and Sarten Memorial-LR.

Cambridge Stud's Keeper now has an individual black type tally of 14; ten of which are Group winners.

His progeny has had 96 winners in NZ; 27 in Australia and have also tasted success in Hong Kong (12), Singapore (9), Korea (4), Macau (3), Phillippines (2), Malaysia (1) and South Africa (1).

Keeper is the sire of three Group One winners; namely Linky Dink, Insouciant and Keepa Cruisin.
