Speed Updates on Entire KY Derby Field from Lady and the Track, this is outstanding.
Gun Runner Fires Churchill Bullet Winchell Thoroughbreds LLC and Three Chimneys Farm’s Gun Runner (Profile) took another step toward a start in the May 7 GI Kentucky Derby with a bullet five-furlong breeze in 1:00 flat [1/16] over the main track at Churchill Downs Monday morning. With regular pilot Florent Geroux aboard, Gun Runner clicked off eighth-mile splits of :12.80, :24.40, :36.40 and :48 flat en-route to galloping out six furlongs in 1:13.20. The GII Twinspires.com Louisiana Derby winner worked in company with stablemate Gold Hawk (Empire Maker), who covered the distance in 1:00.60.
“I thought he breezed very well this morning and has settled into Churchill very nicely,” trainer Steve Asmussen said. “I thought that he handled the racetrack very well and I’m obviously very excited about our opportunities. He’s a tremendous individual as far as conformation and pedigree-wise, and he’s got a great attitude. He’s very energetic as far as training goes. He’s always been very effortless over the racetrack.” (Full Story)
