Runnin N Gunnin to start next in Black-Eyed Susan

Runnin N Gunnin, who won the Sunland Park Oaks, is scheduled to make her next start in the Grade 2, $300,000 Black-Eyed Susan at Pimlico, according to her trainer, Steve Asmussen. The 1 1/8-mile race is May 17.

Runnin N Gunnin last raced at Oaklawn on March 29, closing for third in the Grade 2 Fantasy behind winner Quietside and runner-up Simply Joking. The race serves as a stepping-stone to the Kentucky Oaks.

“She put in a solid run behind two exceptional fillies,” Asmussen said. “We’re going to wait for the Black-Eyed Susan with her.”

Asmussen said Runnin N Gunnin is now stabled at Churchill Downs. She is a daughter of Gun Runner who races for Douglas Scharbauer.
