Gun Runner Filly Passes Two-Turn Test at Keeneland

8th-Keeneland, $96,906, Msw, 10-13, 2yo, f, 1 1/16m, 1:47.33, ft, 3 1/2 lengths.
INTRICATE (f, 2, Gun Runner–Complex Analysis, by Distorted Humor) made belated progress to finish a never-nearer fifth, beaten just over two lengths, on six-furlong debut at Churchill Sept. 16, and was the 2-1 second choice stretching out to a distance of ground for the first time. Prominent through the opening exchanges, the chestnut eased back to sit midfield, but close, as they turned up the backstretch. Steered out into the four path entering the second bend, Intricate was held together passing the quarter pole, quickly raced up to the leaders once heads were turned for home and ran out a good-looking 3 1/2-length winner. A $200,000 KEESEP yearling and $280,000 OBS April breezer, Intrictate is the first foal from her dam, a full-sister to SW & GSP Abraham, who cost LBD Stable $180,000 carrying this filly at the 2020 Keeneland November sale. Complex Analysis is also the dam of a yearling colt by The Factor ($23,000 '23 KEEJAN; $65,000 '23 FTKJUL) and produced a Munnings colt this year before visiting Gun Runner's sire Candy Ride (Arg). This is also the family of graded performers Miss Isella and Sir Cherokee. Sales history: $200,000 Ylg '22 KEESEP; $280,000 2yo '23 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $61,725.

Darby Dan’s 2024 Roster Headed by Flameaway and Dialed In

Freshman sire Flameaway and multiple Grade I sire Dialed In will together lead the 2024 stallion roster at Darby Dan Farm, the Central Kentucky farm announced in a release Friday afternoon. The pair, each standing for $15,000 S&N, will head a dozen stallions on the Darby Dan roster.

A son of Scat Daddy, Flameaway is fourth on North America's freshman sire list with 15 first-crop winners. His 2-year-olds include MGSW Dreamfyre, winner of the GIII Surfer Girl S. Oct. 8 who is pointing to the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. Flameaway is one of only two U.S. freshmen of 2023 with a graded stakes winner to date. Flameaway will have limited season availability at $15,000 as Breeders' Cup results could warrant a change in fee.

Dialed In, the top freshman sire of 2016, has a number of top runners on his CV, including 2023's GI Hollywood Gold Cup S. winner Defunded–second in the Sept. 30 GI Awesome Again S.–and GI Kentucky Oaks runner-up Gambling Girl, who also finished third in the GI Coaching Club American Oaks.

Darby Dan stallions for 2024 with fees:

Daughter Of Flameaway Breaks Maiden At Belmont At The Big A

2nd-Belmont The Big A, $90,000, Msw, 10-13, 2yo, f, 6fT, 1:10.46, fm, head.
REAGAN'S FLAME (f, 2, Flameaway–Mizzen Donald, by Mizzen Mast), a 10-1 gamble on career debut, jumped away fairly, but was ridden along by Kendrick Carmouche to argue the early fractions inside of fellow firster Save Us Melania (Constitution). Shaking free from that one in upper stretch, the $185,000 OBS April breezer was clear into the final eighth of a mile and held on late to take it by a head. Favored Lamorna (Munnings), scratched out of last weekend's Futurity S. when it was washed onto the main track, was off slowly from the inside stall, was restrained at the tail of the field and let down powerfully in the lane to just miss. Twisted Romance (Twirling Candy), a $485,000 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-year-old, turned in a promising first-out effort to be third. The 15th winner for her freshman sire (by Scat Daddy), Reagan's Flame has a yearling half-sister by First Samurai, a weanling half-brother by Street Boss and her dam visited War Front this season. This is the female family of E Dubai (Mr. Prospector). Sales history: $37,000 Ylg '22 KEEJAN; $35,000 Ylg '22 KEESEP; $185,000 2yo '23 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $49,500.

Besides his three earlier fall sojourns, Collmus also covered the limited 2020 summer season at the track.

“We really couldn't ask for anyone better than Larry to be filling our booth in the planned absence of our longstanding caller Trevor Denman,” said Josh Rubinstein, Del Mar's president and COO. “He brings terrific energy to his role here, both behind the mic and on the social media scene. To top it all off, he tells us he just loves calling races at Del Mar.”
