Gun Runner Made Available for Southern Hemisphere Covers

Tara Madgwick - Friday July 7

Three Chimneys Farm have announced champion sire Gun Runner will again be made available for Southern Hemisphere time covers as he was last year, but with the added incentive of a A$500,000 bonus paid to the breeder of any resulting offspring that can win the Golden Slipper.

Gun Runner

The SH fee of $US65,000 (AU$98,000) is slightly less than the US$75,000 (AU$110,000) he commanded last year on Southern Hemisphere covers

With his oldest progeny now four year-olds, Gun Runner has sired 18 stakes-winners, six of them Group I winners with his stakes-winner to runner strike rate running at 9.3%.

Emirates Park’s Golden Slipper winning filly Estijaab was sent to the Northern Hemisphere to begin her stud career and after producing fillies by Frankel and Night of Thunder was sent to the US to be covered last year by Gun Runner and is believed to be in foal.
