Nestadt and Kantor buy Top mare at Magic Millions
Former South African champion racemare, Ruby Clipper, was sold for $100,000 (R730 000) at Australia’s Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale. The daughter of Rubiton was knocked down to E Thoroughbred Pty Ltd for Larry Nestadt and Bernard Kantor. Consigned by Strawberry Hill Stud, Ruby Clipper is currently in foal to Kentucky Derby winner and champion Big Brown.
Ruby Clipper, twice a champion in South Africa, is the dam of South African G1 winner and now sire, Seventh Rock (Rock of Gibraltar). She has not, however, enjoyed the best of fortune at stud, with two of her foals dying, and missing three seasons.
