Gun Runner had yet another session topper on Tuesday at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-year-olds in Training sale when hip No. 357 sold for $1.375 million.
Consigned by Sequel, agent for breeders Chester and Mary Broman, the filly went to Pedro Lanz, acting on behalf of KAS Stables.
“We needed a filly and she was my favorite,” Lanz explained. “I told them, if you want the best filly, in my opinion, she is the one. She’s a beautiful filly. She’s a May foal and she still has more chance to develop into a bigger and stronger filly. She’s out of a beautiful mare by Uncle Mo. So this filly has everything that you could ask for.”
The filly will be going to the barn of Brad Cox according to Lanz.
The bay filly is out of Modest Maven, and is a half-sibling to two winners, including multiple graded stakes placed stakes Arctic Arrogance and stakes-placed Overstep. The filly hails from the immediately family of two-time champion Housebuster.
After a brilliant 2025 that saw Gun Runner finish as the leading sire by yearling average at $904,629 and have a record-breaking $3 OBS March 2-year-old sale topper, he is again among the leading sires of 2-year-olds in 2026 with an average of $487,500 and a median of $437,500.
