Gun Runner Filly Makes It Two-For-Two at Indiana

[Wandering Eyes]

3rd-Indiana Grand, $36,000, Alw, 8-23, (NW2L), 2yo, f, 6f, 1:10.89, ft, 8 1/4 lengths.
JOYRUNNER (f, 2, Gun Runner–Joy {MSW, $250,544}, by Pure Prize) passed five of her eight rivals in the final furlong to annex her July 8 debut going a sloppy 5 1/2 furlongs and was the 11-10 chalk to put them back-to-back. The McIngvale colorbearer hopped a bit at the break, but was patiently handled and raced three wide into the turn. Roused to the front nearing the quarter pole, the Maryland-bred drifted out off the home corner and raced a bit greenly inside the final furlong, but ran out a facile 8 1/4-length winner. Inbred 4×3 to Storm Cat, Joyrunner is out of a multiple stakes-winning half-sister to MSW O Dionysus (Bodemeister) and hails from the deeper female family of champion Safely Kept. Joy is the dam of a yearling colt by Union Rags, a colt foal by City of Light and most recently returned to the Lane's End stallion barn for a date with Gift Box. Sales history: $145,000 Ylg '20 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $42,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart.
