Gun Runner Colt Named ‘TDN Rising Star’ at Gulfstream

[Wandering Eyes]

AMERICAN ICON (c, 2, Gun Runner–Sky America {SP, $102,978}, by Sky Mesa), favored in this debut at 6-5, ran to the money, drawing off to win by about seven lengths after setting the pace from the bell en route to 'TDN Rising Star' honors. Motoring through fractions of :22.75 and :45.75, the bay Kentucky-bred covered six furlongs in 1:10.51 still in an easy rhythm. He quickly extended clear to win going away in a final time of 1:23.26 for the seven furlongs. Red Line Overdrive (Nyquist), who broke poorly, closed to take second. His SP dam is a full-sister to SW and GI Santa Anita Oaks second Third Dawn (Sky Mesa). Sales history: $400,000 Ylg '20 FTKSEL. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0.
