First Mares Check In-foal for Fulls to Laoban, Gun Runner

The first mares bred to Fortune Ticket (Candy Ride {Arg}-Quiet Giant, by Giant's Causeway) and Son of Thunder (Uncle Mo-Chattertown, by Speightstown) have been confirmed in foal via press release from Climax Stallions. Fortune Ticket, the full-brother to Horse of the Year and #1 two-year-old sire Gun Runner, is standing his first season at Anchor and Hope Farm in Maryland. On the board in four of six lifetime starts with two wins, he sold for $27,000 two years ago at KEENOV. Son of Thunder, the full-brother to the late Laoban, is standing his first season at Waldorf Farm in New York. The bay was a $475,000 Denali Stud consignment, and he went the way of Lael Stable at the 2019 Saratoga Select yearling sale. He retired with a second-place effort from only three lifetime starts. Fortune Ticket and Son of Thunder are both standing the 2022 breeding season for an advertised fee of $2,500, stands and nurses. “We are thrilled to be able to bring such elite bloodlines to the regional markets,” said Sean Feld, President of Climax Stallions, whose group is supporting both freshman with multiple mares. “Both stallions have stellar physicals to match, which has us anxiously awaiting the foals to come.”

Fortune Ticket, Full-Brother To Gun Runner, To Stand At Anchor And Hope Farm In Maryland

Climax Stallions LLC has announced that Gun Runner's full brother, Fortune Ticket, will stand his first season at stud in 2022 at Anchor & Hope Farm in Port Deposit, Md.

Gun Runner recently broke the first-crop progeny earnings record set by Uncle Mo in 2015, who broke Tapit's 2008 record. Fortune Ticket was initially raced by his breeder, Three Chimneys Farm, where Gun Runner will stand in 2022 for $125,000 stands and nurses. Fortune Ticket was a multiple allowance winner at three who ran a 7 on Thoromanager.

“Fortune Ticket is an exciting prospect for the great state of Maryland. He is the only son of Candy Ride in Maryland and is a full-brother to a burgeoning superstar at stud, Gun Runner,” said Climax Stallions president Sean Feld.

Fortune Ticket will stand for just two percent of Gun Runner's ​$125,000 stud fee, $2,500 stands and nurses.

Louis Merryman of Anchor & Hope said, “Grace and I are excited to have a horse with this type of pedigree on our farm, not only is he a full-brother to Gun Runner, but he is from the family of Horse of The Year, Saint Liam. Fortune Ticket is correct and athletic which are keys to a stallion's success.”

Fortune Ticket will join Climax Stallions LLC's Editorial​, a half-brother to Uncle Mo​, who also stands for $2,500 at Anchor & Hope.
