Gallery Racing–the connections of champion sprinter Runhappy (Super Saver)–will sponsor the 2018 $1.2-million GI Runhappy Metropolitan H. June 9, the New York Racing Association, Inc. announced Friday.

“We are thrilled to be a part of this year's Metropolitan Mile, a race that I personally have admired for years,” said James McIngvale, owner of Gallery Racing. “The history, the brilliance of past winners and the legacy of this race is what drew us to jump at the opportunity to sponsor the Runhappy Met Mile. We are committed to the wonderful sport of thoroughbred racing and hope to continue our partnership with the great folks of NYRA and horseplayers from coast to coast for many years to come.”

In January, NYRA announced an expanded partnership with Gallery Racing/Runhappy to present the pre-race handicapping show Talking Horses. The Belmont Park spring/summer meet will also feature the $150,000 Runhappy S., formerly the Diablo, a six-furlong sprint to be contested Saturday, May 12.

Runhappy stands at Claiborne Farm; his 2018 fee is $25,000.
