GUNITE MAX (f, 2, Volatile–Super Simple, by Super Saver) fired a bullet three furlongs from the gate in :35 3/5 June 21 and was sent off as the 21-10 second choice for this first trip to the races. Off a fraction slowly, the $12,000 Fasig-Tipton October yearling was hustled up to press the pace from second into the turn. Sent to the front in upper stretch, the bay swapped leads on cue and covered her final sixteenth of a mile in a very sharp :5.97 to become the second winner for her freshman sire (by Violence). Super Simple is a daughter SW & GSP Simplify (Pulpit), herself the dam of SW Optionality (Gun Runner) and Simple Surprise (Cowboy Cal), the dam of GISW sire Gunite (Gun Runner). Woodford Thoroughbreds acquired Super Simple with this filly in utero for $300,000 at Keeneland November in 2021 and she produced a Gun Runner filly in 2023. Sales history: $12,000 Ylg '23 FTKOCT. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $19,800. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
