Dry Powder

Gold Square LLC's Dry Powder (Gun Runner), twice placed at the highest level during a productive 3-year-old season in 2025, drops out of graded company for Sunday's $100,000 Lady's Secret Stakes at Monmouth Park, the final local lead-up for the $500,000 GII Molly Pitcher Stakes on the Haskell undercard on July 18. Third in the GI CCA Oaks and a neck second in the GI Cotillion Stakes either side of a victory in the Cathryn Sophia Stakes at Parx last season, the $525,000 Keeneland September graduate--carrying the same colors worn...

BENSALEM, PA -- Heading into a mouthwatering renewal of Saturday's $1-million GI Cotillion Stakes at Parx Racing, Good Cheer (Medaglia d'Oro), Scottish Lassie (McKinzie) and La Cara (Street Sense) had combined to win no fewer than five Grade I contests over the course of the last 11 months. But when all was said and done, it was the far less-exposed and extremely well-backed Clicquot (Quality Road), who took over in the final furlong and went on to a narrow victory over Dry Powder (Gun Runner) and Ourdaydreaminggirl (Instagrand) as the...

Having previously done all of her racing in New York, Dry Powder shipped down to Parx to pick up her first stakes win in Tuesday's Cathryn Sophia Stakes. A head behind Sweet Seraphine (Quality Road) in the Wilton Stakes two back at Aqueduct, she stepped into the deep end and wound up third, albeit the length of the stretch back, in the GI Coaching Club American Oaks behind Scottish Lassie (McKinzie) at Saratoga July 19. Given a 7-1 shot here, the daughter of Gun Runner showed speed but was outrun...

7th-Belmont The Big A, $85,360, Alw (NW1$X)/Opt. Clm ($100,000), 5-1, 3yo, f, 1m, 1:35.89, ft, 1 1/4 lengths. CASSIAR (f, 3, City of Light--Nellie Cashman {GSW, $349,839}, by Mineshaft), runner-up in the GII Gulfstream Park Oaks behind recently-scratched Kentucky Oaks entrant Five G (Vekoma), cut back to the mile but faced several salty fillies including the come-backing GI Frizette Stakes winner Scottish Lassie (McKinzie). That 2-5 favorite made much of the running, setting a pressured pace just ahead of Dry Powder (Gun Runner) through fractions of :23.78 and :46.57. Cassiar...

5th-Gulfstream, $70,000, Msw, 3-16, 3yo, f, 6f, 1:11.00, ft, neck. DRY POWDER (f, 3, Gun Runner--Tell All, by Broken Vow) came into this debut with a sparkling price tag and a three-strong string of bullet works at Palm Meadows. Showing the way under pressure through :22.52 and a half in :45.75, she locked horns with Practical Lov (Practical Joke) as they swung into the lane and briefly lost the advantage as they got to mid-stretch. Battling back gamely, Dry Powder would not be denied and she came back on the...

5th-GP, $94K, Msw, 3yo, f, 6f, 3:00 p.m. ET. A $525,000 Keeneland September grad, DRY POWDER (Gun Runner) is set to be unveiled for Gold Square and trainer Chad Summers. The filly's dam Tell All (Broken Vow) was purchased in 2021 for $240,000 from the Pin Oak Stud consignment by Corser Thoroughbreds while the first-time starter was in-utero. Dry Powder's second dam, SW Whisper to Me (Thunder Gulch), produced MGSW Overheard (Macho Uno). Also making the barrier for her debut is Midnight Myth (More Than Ready), who went for $550,000...
