Trainer Wesley Ward, bidding on behalf of a partnership, signed the ticket at $2.2 million to acquire a colt by Gun Runner (hip 243) from the Taylor Made Sales Agency consignment during the second session of the Keeneland September Yearling Sale Tuesday in Lexington.

Hip 243 is the sixth yearling by Three Chimneys' Gun Runner to reach seven figures at the auction.
