Six-time Grade I winner and 2017 Horse of the Year, GUN RUNNER, has been elected to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame!
Bred in Kentucky by Besilu Stables, Gun Runner was trained by hall of famer Steve Asmussen and campaigned in partnership by Three Chimneys Farm and Winchell Thoroughbreds from 2015-2018. Gun Runner accumulated nearly $16,000,000 in career earnings and his top victories included the Breeders’ Cup Classic (GI) and Pegasus World Cup (G1) under jockey, Florent Geroux.
“This is the most substantial, most lasting recognition of how tremendous of an athlete he was,” said Chris Baker, chief operating officer at Three Chimneys. “To have the Hall of Fame added to his accolades—all these benchmarks he hit that are rare in themselves—it is the final acknowledgment that he is among the greatest of the sport. It is fitting, well deserved, and appreciated.”
