Gun Runner one sweet ride

[Secretriat34]

From the backdrop of the Twin Spires, to the home of Mardi Gras, to the glittering towers that surround Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum's equine epicenter, the rhythmic stride of Winchell Thoroughbreds and Three Chimneys Farm's chestnut flagbearer remains steadfast.

Half a world away from any of his various bases, GUN RUNNER prepares for the $10 million Dubai World Cup Sponsored by Emirates Airlines (G1) as he always does—acting as if the whole charade is old hat. Frankly, when one boils down his current situation, it is.

Quoted from the article below in BH 3-23-17 , this is one extremely well written piece full of adjectives and colorful language to make your horsesense tingle.

VERY EXCITING weekend this week, 3-25, as the americans seem poised for a sweep of the superfecta in dubal

Just like 2003 when MDO and PP went to post..this year GR and Arrogate will play in the dirt
that was on a sunday..the OTB was empty except for a few who set out at 9AM CST to bet the race..(before AWD)
this is a gamblers dream...the world will bet against america making the odds/returns on the exotics to good to pass up

Gun Runner will be Candy Rides best son, after this weekeknd..shame Mastery went down, he is all there was on the trail in 2017

I dont know about that. After it became evident Shared Belief wasn't going to make the Derby, it appeared pretty dismal, the prospects for something good emerging from that crop. Sure enough, we got California Chrome.

i am not certain what you mean ?

Gun Runner was mentioned in the context of a son of candy ride, and I think you mat have read that to be GR was the best of the crop CC was in ???

Don't know what you were trying to type ?

I was trying to point out that the crop Shared Belief (another, and better son of Candy Ride) was in looked pretty bad when Shared Belief was off the derby trail. Yet it turned out at least ok when California Chrome emerged while Shared Belief was recovering.

Hence, this crop, while looking pretty meager right now, might turn out ok. Its happened before.

Since he is not going to win, I think he needs to run second or third to get the 600k to pass shared belief. He isn't in the same area code as shared belief though when it comes to ability.

well if they rest Arrogate and it turns out he no longer has the fire a young colt once did, look for GR to win the BCC 2018..

Big if though...Baffert prolly has some good ideas to keep the pony motivated.

maybe some naked filly pictures taped on the stall walls....
