Always a Runner (Hip 695) | Keeneland<\/p>\n

By J.N. Campbell<\/p>\n

3rd-TAM, $55K, Msw, 3yo, f, 1m 40yds, 1:36 p.m. ET.
Three Chimneys bred ALWAYS A RUNNER (Gun Runner<\/a>) as the first foal out of GSP Always Carina (Malibu Moon) who is the half-sister to Jeff Drown and Don Rachel’s GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf hero Structor (Palace Malice).<\/p>\n

The farm bought Always Carina’s dam, Miss Always Ready (More Than Ready), for $400,000 at the 2014 Keeneland April 2-Year-Old Sale. Her full-sister is Bobby Flay’s GII Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf victress More Than Real.<\/p>\n

During the 2024 Keeneland September Sale, Valor Farm’s tall Texan Douglas Scharbauer went to $1.05-million to acquire Always a Runner, then Three Chimneys stayed in for a piece before she was sent to trainer Chad Brown.<\/p>\n

As for Always Carina, she has visited Gun Runner<\/a> consecutively which so far has yielded a March filly in 2024\u2013who RNA’d for $850,000 at Keeneland September\u2013and a April colt last year. TJCIS PPS<\/a><\/p>\n
