A tax-deadline foaled son of Gun Runner out of the two-time stakes winner She's My Gem (Into Mischief) gave Thursday's fourth day of bidding at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale a shot of energy at the close of its first hour, attracting a final bid of $1.6 million from bloodstock agent Lauren Carlisle on behalf of an undisclosed client. The agent did indicate that the colt would ultimately be trained by Mark Casse.“Well, I loved him,” said Carlisle. “Beautiful colt, looks very two turn, like you said, Gun Runner speaks for himself. We had swung pretty big the last few days and have not gotten it done. So I'm a little relieved that we got one that we really wanted. So trying to collect colts. I mean, that's what I'm doing.“Dirt would be great. That'd be ideal, but he's going to run wherever Mark sees fit and hopefully that's in Classic distance races. But there wasn't much negative to say about him. I mean, he's a very imposing individual, so very nice.”Bred by Three Chimneys and consigned by Four Star Sales, agent, the dark bay (hip 790) is out of a mare that was purchased by the Lexington nursery for $325,000 in foal to More Than Ready at the 2021 Keeneland November Sale following a career that saw her win over $175,000 while under the care of Todd Fincher in the Desert Southwest. The mare's two previous foals to go through this sales ring–this colt's now 3-year-old full-sister Island Flower and the juvenile colt Detonator (Cybernife)–were each sold for $550,000.Hip 790 is bred on the same cross as Meaning, a $440,000 Keeneland September grad who took out this year's GII Santa Anita Oaks ahead of a runner-up effort in the GI Kentucky Oaks.The post Gun Runner’s 14th Keeneland September Millionaire A Real ‘Gem’ appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
