Hi...Gypsy Blue is alive and well living on a farm in Woodlands,Southland.She is now a broodmare due to have her first foal soon.Micheal Crooks and Tommy Beckett worked hard to get her as well as possible again...A real shame as she had a real positive start to her racing career...Well taken care off and not just Dollar signs to her owners!!
