MATING SUGGESTIONS: The exceptional early achievements of Horse of the Year Gun Runner suggests strongly that he is going to be as great a Champion at stud as he was on the track. One of his major contributors has been the tough and fast Gunite, who figures among Gun Runner’s magnificent total of six first-crop Gr.1 winners. The signs are that Gun Runner has another sensational crop in the making with his 2023 2YOs, which already include Gr.1 winner Locked, Gr.2 winner Chatalas and the Gr.1-placed Life Talk and Wonder Ride. With impressive career figures of 20-9-7-2, the resilient Gunite gained his first Gr.1 success when he took the 7f. Hopeful Stakes at Saratoga by nearly six lengths. Saratoga was also the scene of two of Gunite’s other important victories. At three he took the Gr.2 Amsterdam Stakes over 6½f. and at four he led virtually all the way in the Gr.1 Forego Stakes over 7f., to end the long winning sequence of champion sprinter Elite Power. Gunite’s dam Simple Surprise and 2nd dam Simplify were both stakes winners at Saratoga. 28
