Sales history: $240,000 RNA yrl KEESEP ’16. Lifetime Record: GSW, 7-4-2-0, $563,510. Apr. 3 TDN Top 12 Rank: N/ALast Start: 1st, GIII Sunland Derby, SUN, Mar. 25. Next Start: GI Kentucky Derby, CD, May 5.Equineline PPs. KY Derby Points: 50 Whenever a horse qualifies for the Derby via the New Mexico prep-race series, a “lovable long shot” story seems destined to follow (think Mine That Bird at 50-1 in 2009). How can you not root for a one-horse stable headed by an octogenarian owner/breeder whose Ghostzapper homebred got bid up just shy of a $250,000 RNA at KEESEP and the gent refused all subsequent offers to sell? Runaway Ghost is now four-for-seven lifetime and has more than doubled his auction asking price in earnings, with his GIII Sunland Derby score amassing him 50 qualifying points, currently good for a 13th-place eligibility ranking.
