Imperial Gun Hits The Mark In Second Start At Oaklawn

5th-Oaklawn, $115,000, Msw, 12-31, 2yo, 1 1/16m, 1:45.96, ft, 5 3/4 lengths.

IMPERIAL GUN (c, 2, Gun Runner–Take a Memo, by Empire Maker) made an emboldened move through traffic from the back of the pack to wind up fourth when debuted over course at a mile Dec. 9. Away cleaner for his second start, the 4-1 shot sat off the pace only briefly around the first turn before cruising up under his own power to hit the front as the half went in :47.83. Easily the best into the lane, Imperial Gun increased his advantage when driven out to a 5 3/4-length victory over Linebacker (Bolt d'Oro). Out of a daughter of GSW/MGISP Memorette, Imperial Gun has a yearling half-sister by Bolt d'Oro and a weanling half-brother by Justify. His dam is pregnant to Nashville for 2024. Sales History: $375,000 Ylg '22 KEEJAN. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $74,750. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

Dec. 9 Insights: Debuters for Royalty at Oaklawn Park

4th-OP, $115k, Msw, 2yo, 1m, 2:54p.m. ET
A $350,000 FTSAUG purchase for HRH Prince Sultan Bin Mishal Al Saud, RIDE FOR SUL (Candy Ride {Arg}) looks to open his tab as 2023 winds down to a close. Out of Southern Honey (Colonel John), winner of the GIII Winning Colors S. and graded-placed on two other occasions, the colt hails from the same female family which yielded MGSW & MGISP Runway Model and her son MGISW McKinzie (Street Sense). Trained by Steve Asmussen and ridden by Keith Asmussen, the morning line currently tabs him at 5-1 odds. TJCIS PPs

8th-OP, $115k, Msw, 2yo, 1m, 4:46p.m. ET
Another debuter for His Royal Highness on the card is Imperial Gun (Gun Runner), who is also trained and ridden by the Asmussens. The field here looks to be a competitive one with several six figure auction grads and one seven-figure sale from KEESEP with redemption to find. The dark bay colt was a pick-up from KEEJAN for $375,000, and has two other winning siblings. Second dam GSW & MGISP Memorette couldn't quite reproduce her talent, but nonetheless hailed from a family rife with talent–she was one of five multiple winners for her own dam–which included GISP Fondly Remembered and MGSP Paradise Found.
