Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 21, 2024 Journalists Share Posted December 21, 2024 Built (Hard Spun), a maiden winner at second asking at Keeneland Oct. 6, stretched to two turns in style with a daylight victory in Saturday's Gun Runner Stakes at Fair Grounds, good for 10 points on the Road to the GI Kentucky Derby. Off at odds of 7-2, the rail-drawn Built showed the way through fractions of :24.64 and :49.23 and dropped the hammer in the stretch to win by seven lengths. Magnitude (Not This Time) was second; Render Judgment (Blame) was third. Built becomes the 109th stakes winner for Hard Spun. It's been a fantastic recent run for winning owner Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners following 'TDN Rising Star' and GISW Locked (Gun Runner)'s win in the GII Cigar Mile H. Dec. 7 and Journalism (Curlin)'s win in the GII Los Alamitos Futurity last Saturday. Sales history: $82,000 yrl '23 KEESEP; $260,000 2yo '24 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 3-2-0-1. O-Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners; B-Robert & Lawana Low (KY); T-Wayne M. Catalano. .@jareth16 constructed a perfect trip for BUILT ($9.80) in the $100,000 Gun Runner Stakes at @fairgroundsnola. @CATRacingStable conditions the son of Hard Spun (@DarleyAmerica) for @EclipseTBP and they get 10 points for the 2025 @KentuckyDerby.
