Gun Runner Colt Rolls Late to $1.9M at Keeneland
Only one yearling by leading sire Gun Runner brought seven figures during the Sept. 10 third session of the Keeneland September Yearling Sale but a colt sold as Hip 731 attracted the day’s highest price of $1.9 million from buyer Spendthrift Farm.
Hill ‘n’ Dale at Xalapa as agent consigned the colt that was co-bred by GRS and trainer Bob Baffert out of the stakes-placed Quality Road winner Ginja. Baffert raced the mare with his wife Jill.
Ginja is a half sister to grade 1-placed Top Decile , who ran second in both the 2014 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) and Alcibiades Stakes (G1). Top Decile went on to produce Japanese 3-year-old champion colt Danon Decile (Epiphaneia ).
