Description:
One more time, for all to see, Gun Runner put on a show.
In the $16 million, Grade 1 Pegasus World Cup Invitational on Jan. 27 at Gulfstream Park, the 5-year-old son of Candy Ride, owned by Winchell Thoroughbreds and Three Chimneys Farm, put an exclamation point on the end of a magnificent career with a determined win.
Facing a stiff challenge from West Coast at the top of the stretch, Gun Runner dug in determinedly on the inside and prevailed in the 1 1/8-mile race, crossing the finish line in 1:47.41.
