Stewart Spending Spree Continues With $1.7m Gun Runner Colt

Hip 75 | Fasig-Tipton

Hip 75, a Bluewater Sales-consigned Gun Runner colt out of Lady Godiva (Unbridled's Song). was another high-profile purchase for John Stewart's Resolute Bloodstock during the opening session of the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale, as he was extended to $1.7 million after a protracted bidding duel. An Apr. 17 foal, the gray is closely related to GI Clark Handicap winner and sire Leofric, a son of Gun Runner's sire Candy Ride (Arg), and his dam hails from the Peter Blum family of Grade I winners Well Chosen, Telling and this year's dual Grade I winner National Treasure. Hip 75 was bred by Cypress Creek Equine, who also bred hip 37, a filly by Curlin–Elle Sueno who was knocked down to Resolute for $850,000. Hip 75 was the fourth session one purchase for Resolute for gross receipts of $4.65 million.
