Hip 177 | Keeneland
A Gun Runner son (hip 177) of ‘TDN Rising Star‘ Thoughtfully (Tapit) set off late fireworks just four hips from the end of Monday’s opening session at Keeneland September when Peter Brant, signing on behalf of M.V. Magnier & White Birch Farm, outlasted all comers to sign the ticket at $3,300,000.
Bred by Hill n Dale Equine Holdings, Inc & Determined Stud, the colt’s dam brought $950,000 herself as a broodmare at FTKNOV in 2019.
M.V. Magnier and White Birch also bought her first foal, a now 2-year-old son of Curlin, for $1,300,000 just one year ago as a yearling at Keeneland.
The dam is a half to fellow ‘Rising Stars’ Signator (Tapit) and Bugle Notes (Ghostzapper).
