Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 22, 2018 Journalists Share Posted December 22, 2018 GUN IT (c, 2, Tapit–Miss Besilu {MGISP, $187,829}, by Medaglia d’Oro) made amends for a troubled-trip fourth on debut at Churchill Downs Oct. 28 with an ‘TDN Rising Star’-worthy graduation at the Fair Grounds Saturday. Sent off at 6-5, the $2.6 million KEESEP buy saved ground in fifth off early fractions of :24.40 and :48.54. Two wide turning for home, the gray displayed some greeness, but once righted by Ricardo Santana, he powered clear of the field to win for fun by five lengths in 1:46.13. His MGISP dam Miss Besilu, who was also named a ‘TDN Rising Star’ in her second-out graduation, summoned the same $2.6 million sum at auction, except she did it as a weanling at Keeneland November in 2011. Gun It, who was born May 5, 2016, is her first foal and she has since produced a yearling colt by Candy Ride (Arg) and a weanling filly by Curlin. Miss Besilu was bred back to Into Mischief. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0. O-Whisper Hill Farm & Three Chimneys Farm; B-Three Chimneys Farm & Besilu Stables (KY); T-Steve Asmussen.
