LAST Saturday we had further confirmation that Gun Runner can legitimately claim to be the most exciting young stallion in the world.

In the space of less than one hour, at Parx Racing, he sired a pair of Grade 1 winners, his daughter Society running out a near six-length winner of the Cotillion Stakes before Taiba, a three-year-old colt, was no less impressive when landing the Pennsylvania Derby by three lengths. The latter has already been victorious at the highest level, in the Santa Anita Derby, but Society is now the sixth Grade 1 winner in Gun Runner’s first crop.
