Gunnevera Retired from Racing

Salomon Del Valle’s Gunnevera (Dialed In–Unbridled Rage, by Unbridled), a winner of a trio of graded stakes and runner up in a quartet of Grade I/Group 1’s through a career that spanned four seasons, has been retired from racing. Stud plans have yet to be determined.

Victorious three starts at two, including the GII Saratoga Special S. and the GIII Delta Jackpot, the Antonio Sano trainee took the next season’s GII Xpressbet Fountain of Youth S. before finishing third in the GI Florida Derby. Later that summer, he won Gulfstream’s Tangelo S. ahead of a runner-up effort behind West Coast (Flatter) in the GI Travers S. During his 4-year-old season, he was third in the GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational before collecting a win in a Gulfstream optional claimer later that summer. Runner up in the GI Woodward, he filled the same position behind Accelerate (Lookin At Lucky) in the 2018 GI Breeders’ Cup Classic. Third in his second attempt at the Pegasus World Cup, he made what would be his final start in the 2019 G1 Dubai World Cup, finishing third behind Thunder Snow (Ire) (Helmet).

The 6-year-old, who has faced foot issues, throughout much of his career–including a fracture last summer–retires with six wins from 21 starts and earnings of $5,561,800.

‘Once In A Lifetime Horse’ Gunnevera Retired, Stud Plans Pending

Trainer Antonio Sano told the Daily Racing Form this week that Gunnevera has officially been retired from racing. Salomon Del Valle's 6-year-old son of Dialed In fractured a left hind leg while training last summer, and has not been able to make it back to the races.

Over the course of his 21-race career, Gunnevera earned over $5.5 million. He took his trainer to the Kentucky Derby in 2017, finishing seventh. Gunnevera won six races and hit the board in a total of six Grade 1 events, including the 2019 Dubai World Cup (third), the 2018 Breeders' Cup Classic (second), and the 2018 Pegasus World Cup (third).

“His race in the Breeders' Cup was the most special for me,” Sano told drf.com. “It was very emotional, very exciting. One more second and he wins the race. He's a once in a lifetime horse who I can't thank enough for what he's also meant to my career.”

Stallion plans have not yet been confirmed for Gunnevera, but Sano hopes he can begin his breeding career early in 2021.
