GSW Shotgun Hottie to Be Sold at Keeneland November

[Wandering Eyes]

Millionaire Shotgun Hottie (Gun Runner–Re Entry, by Malibu Moon) has been cataloged to Book 1 of its November Breeding Stock Sale, which will be held Tuesday, Nov. 5. Taylor Made Sales Agency, agent, will consign the 5-year-old as a racing or broodmare prospect.

“Keeneland is pleased to have such a standout as Shotgun Hottie in our November Breeding Stock Sale,” Keeneland Vice President of Sales Tony Lacy said. “She is the first millionaire by Gun Runner to be offered at public auction, and she's sure to have widespread appeal.”

Campaigned by Jeff Ganje and Omar Aldabbagh, Shotgun Hottie won or placed in 12 stakes for earnings of $1.1 million at 10 race tracks across the U.S.

“Shotgun Hottie has taken us on the ride of a lifetime,” Ganje said. “She's all class and shows up every time she's asked and against top competition. We look forward to following her success in her next chapter.”

This past May, Shotgun Hottie won the GIII Allaire DuPont Distaff S. at Pimlico by 5 3/4 lengths to earn a 99 Beyer–second highest figure of the weekend only behind GI Preakness winner Seize the Grey.

She also captured the GIII Molly Pitcher Stakes, Lady's Secret Stakes, both in 2023 at Monmouth Park, along with the 2022 Ruthless Stakes at Aqueduct. In the Molly Pitcher, she earned a 98 Beyer while defeating Breeders' Cup-placed Le Da Vida (Chi) and Grade I winner Search Results.

Shotgun Hottie has finished second or third in eight stakes, including recent second-place finishes in Saratoga's GII Shuvee Stakes and Churchill's GII Fleur de Lis Stakes.

“Great breeders have always sought pedigree, soundness, graded stakes talent and class,” said Taylor Made President & CEO Mark Taylor. “Shotgun Hottie delivers on all counts. We can't wait to present her at Keeneland.”

Out of Re Entry, Shotgun Hottie is from the family of Grade I winners Pure Clan and Sky Diva; Grade II scorer Greater Good; and stakes winners Quick Little Miss and Maker's Candy.

The catalog for the November Breeding Stock Sale will be available online on Tuesday, Oct. 1. The auction will run nine sessions from Nov. 5 through Wednesday, Nov. 13, with the stand-alone November Horses of Racing Age Sale the following day.
