Gun Runner's Blood Clears $3 Million Twice in One Session

Hip 313, the full brother to Grade 1 winner Locked, brought $3.1-million on Tuesday, going to AMO Racing at the fall of the hammer. The colt is out of the same Gun Runner cross that produced Locked, and his price made him the second horse of the session to clear the $3-million mark. For buyers in the ring, a proven half of a stakes-winning cross carries its own kind of currency, and this one drew bidding to match. The sale keeps Gun Runner's name at the center of the morning's biggest numbers.
