WICKED AGAIN (Gun Runner), a full-brother to MGSW and last term’s GI Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint third-place finisher Wicked Halo, kicks off his career for Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen. The Winchell Thoroughbreds homebred, drawn on the inside in post two and favored on the morning line at 5-2, fired back-to-back, five-furlong bullets for this, including a 1:00 2/5 (1/8) drill Feb. 21. Wicked Again’s dam Just Wicked (Tapit) won the 2015 GII Adirondack S. at Saratoga.
The field of 10 also includes debuting pricey yearling purchases: $550,000 FTSAUG purchase Gun Collector (Gun Runner) and $525,000 FTSAUG graduate Squire Creek (Uncle Mo). TJCIS PPs
