Spendthrift Signs for $1.9M Gun Runner Colt

Hip 731 | Keeneland

After Three Chimneys sensation Gun Runner sired the session toppers of the Keeneland September sale both Monday and Tuesday, he was back at it again Wednesday.

With approximately 30 hips left to go, a Gun Runner colt hammered for $1.9 million Wednesday to Spendthrift Farm.

Consigned by Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa, agent, hip 731 is out of stakes-placed Ginga (Quality Road).

The mare is a half-sister to 2014 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies runner-up Top Decile (Congrats), who sold to Shadai Farm for $950,000 at the 2017 Keeneland November sale. She has since been exported to Japan, where she has produced Danon Decile {Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}), a champion in Japan and winner of the G1 Longines Dubai Sheema Classic in Dubai.

Trainer Bob Baffert co-bred the colt with GRS.
