Amr Zedan made his first purchase of the week a big one, with bloodstock agent Donato Lanni going to an OBS record $3 million to acquire a colt by Gun Runner (hip 654) on behalf of the Saudi businessman Thursday. The gray worked a furlong in a bullet :9 3/5 last week. He was consigned by Eddie Woods and is out of Tynan (Liam's Map), a half-sister to graded winner Pappacap (Gun Runner). He was purchased for $200,000 at last year's Keeneland September sale.
The previous record price for a horse sold at OBS was $2.45 million paid by agent John Moynihan on behalf of Coolmore Stud interests for a Tiznow colt at the 2017 April 2-year-olds in training sale. Hip 654 set the new standard today at $3 million to @ZedanRacing . (OBS Photo) pic.twitter.com/cnGJmNfmK9
