Lanz, KAS Stable Strike Again for $1.375-Million Gun Runner Filly

Hip 357 | J Martini

Bloodstock agent Pedro Lanz, who purchased a $2.1-million colt by Flightline on behalf of KAS Stable during Monday's opening session of the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic May 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale, came back Tuesday to acquire a filly by Gun Runner (hip 357) for $1.375 million for the same operation. Both juveniles were consigned by Sequel on behalf of their breeder, Chester Broman.

“We needed a filly and she was my favorite,” Lanz explained. “I told them, if you want the best filly, in my opinion, she is the one. She's a beautiful filly. She's a May foal and she still has more chance to develop into a bigger and stronger filly. She's out of a beautiful mare by Uncle Mo. So this filly has everything that you could ask for.”

The filly is out of Modest Maven (Uncle Mo), a mare Broman purchased as a 2-year-old at this same sale in 2016 for $1 million. While Modest Maven didn't make it to the races, she has produced multiple graded-placed Arctic Arrogance (Frosted) and has a yearling filly by Flightline.

While the $2.1-million Flightline colt will be heading west to the barn of trainer John Sadler, the $1.375-million filly will be trained by Brad Cox, Lanz confirmed Tuesday.

In addition to the two seven-figure juveniles, through the Sequel consignment Broman sold five horses at the Midlantic May sale for a gross of $4.215 million

“They are amazing breeders,” Lanz said of Broman's breeding program. “They always have the best horses. When you see Sequel Bloodstock consigning these horses, you know it's a serious consignment.”
