Gun Runner and his people 🥰 @Three_Chimneys
"I've never met a horse like him. I don't think I ever will. We all have our favorites, but we also have the ones that almost put your name in history, and I think he will put ours in history."
TDN's Hands On History series, in collaboration with @BreedersCup, continues with the one and only Gun Runner, a champion on the racetrack who has only continued that excellence as a stallion at Three Chimneys Farm.

Gun Runner was "on top of the world" when he won the 2017 Breeders' Cup Classic, defeating a loaded field including Arrogate, but the chestnut star's success has continued to skyrocket since he retired to Three Chimneys Farm.

Really enjoyed listening to Tony Cissell, GM/COO of @Three_Chimneys, on the Weatherbys segment of the @nickluck podcast earlier this week.
Nick spoke to Tony about his journey through the bloodstock industry - from time spent in Newmarket to working at some of Kentucky’s most iconic farms - Crescent, Calumet and WinStar.
The conversation then turns to Three Chimneys and their exciting stallion roster, headed by the exceptional Gun Runner.
Three Chimneys homebred Always A Runner became Gun Runner’s 14th Grade 1 winner when taking the Kentucky Oaks just a few weeks ago.
Among the other stallions discussed is Volatile whose son T O Elvis recently set a new Stakes record when winning the Gr.1 Churchill Downs Stakes.
There’s also plenty of excitement around two young stallions, Gun Pilot & Newgate, whose first foals are reportedly looking the part.
