Saratoga Race 9
6 - Gun Runner
This 4-year-old has turned himself into one of the top runners in North America, finishing in the exacta six straight races and firing triple-digit numbers in all of them. Gun Runner brings the top class, speed and figures with him here and appears just too much for this field to handle. Trainer Steven Asmussen has given his colt some time off since his romp in the Foster back in June and enters the Whitney fresh with a number of sharp breezes - including a 5F 1:00 workout on July 23. Regular rider Florent Geroux is back aboard for this Grade I event and Gun Runner will be a short price but an easy winner Saturday afternoon.
