Gypsy Goddess has won four from four!

The David Vandyke trained daughter of Tarzino became the first stakes-winner for her sire when winning the Group III BRC Grand Prix and has a half-brother by Belardo (IRE) catalogued for Karaka Book 1 for Haunui Farm.
 


The list of first time winners includes some really interesting ones highlighted by $1.1million Deep Impact colt Elzamee, who won on debut at Newcastle and has a half-sister by Deep Field to be offered at Magic Millions by Coolmore.
 



Also Fastnet Rock filly Hellfest, a $600,000 Magic Millions purchase for Godolphin that won at Newcastle at her second start and has a half-sister by All Too Hard to be offered at Magic Millions by Cressfield.
