Gun Runner’s Society Glitters Against Allowance Foes

12th-Churchill Downs, $128,924, Alw (NW1X)/Opt. Clm ($80,000), 5-6, 3yo, f, 6 1/2f, 1:16.89, sy, 1 3/4 lengths.

SOCIETY (f, 3, Gun Runner–Etiquette, by Tapit) graduated by a length on debut Oct. 21 at Keeneland for prior trainer Wayne Mackey and was given a 7-2 chance with first-time Lasix in this return to action. Away well, the homebred sped out to take control, zipping through a swift first quarter in :21.92. Showing the way into the lane, the chestnut was confronted by SP Ontheonesandtwos (Jimmy Creed) in the lane, but determinedly held off that foe for a 1 3.4-length score. Society is Gun Runner (by Candy Ride {Arg})'s 43rd runner to get her picture taken. Etiquette, a half to GISP Pleasant Prince (Indy King), also has a 2-year-old colt by Union Rags named Punctuality and a yearling filly named Finesse (Street Sense). She's expecting a 2022 foal by Omaha Beach this season. This is the family of course-record setter and graded-stakes producer My Marchesa (Stately Don), who is the granddam of Canadian champion 3-year-old filly Holy Helena (Ghostzapper) and GSW-turned-sire Holy Boss (Street Boss). Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $123,820. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.

Stud Fees Announced for Anchor & Hope Farm

Anchor & Hope Farm in Port Deposit, Maryland has released reduced stud fees for 2021.

Bourbon Courage and Imagining will each stand for $2,000. Holy Boss and Long River will each stand for $1,000.

Bourbon Courage leads Midatlantic second crop sires by stakes horses. Imagining is represented by multiple stakes winner Monday Morning QB. Holy Boss will be represented by his first runners in 2021 and Long River will have yearlings of 2021.

“In an effort to support the breeding industry in challenging times, we want to do our part for the people who keep this industry alive–the small breeder,” Louis Merryman said.

“The decline in mares bred nationally and locally has been on our radar, and now combined with the economic impacts of COVID-19 we recognize we all need to do our part to sustain the industry. Our hope is the reduced stud fees will make breeding more feasible for large and small operations alike.”
