Fasig-Tipton-Winner-Logo.jpgIl Miracolo (c, 3, Gun RunnerTapit's World, by Tapit), a longshot second in Saratoga's Curlin S. July 21, broke through with a career high in Tuesday's GIII Smarty Jones S. at Parx.

Drawn widest of all in post eight, the 7-2 chance was hustled from his outside draw and raced three wide around the clubhouse turn. He sat a perfect, stalking trip from an outside third, made his move on the far turn, kicked for home as the one to catch, and, despite drifting out badly down the lane,  was never in any serious danger late. Cagliostro (Upstart) was second; Daydreaming Boy (Goldencents) was third.

Il Miracolo becomes the 14th graded/20th stakes winner for leading young sire Gun Runner. The Gun Runner over Tapit cross is also responsible for GISW Society and GSWs Wicked Halo, Red Route One and Disarm.

Sales history: $75,000 yrl '21 KEEJAN; $190,000 RNA yrl '21 FTKOCT; $70,000 2yo '22 OBSOPN.

Lifetime Record: 13-3-4-0.
