Magnier, White Birch Farm Buy $1.55M Gun Runner Colt
A yearling colt by Gun Runner sold for $1.55 million to M.V. Magnier and Peter Brant’s White Birch Farm to lead the Sept. 11 fourth session of the Keeneland September Yearling Sale, through 4 p.m. ET. Magnier represents interests from Coolmore.
The bay colt, bred by Three Chimneys Farm and consigned as Hip 969 by Four Star Sales, is the second foal out of the graded stakes-winning Into Mischief mare Twenty Carat . Her first foal, a 2-year-old full sister to Hip 969, is training in Southern California and recorded a bullet half-mile breeze at Los Alamitos Race Course late last month.
Gun Runner, currently the third-leading stallion in North America, stood this past breeding season at Three Chimneys for $250,000.
