00:00Il Miracolo impressed the team at Crestwood Farm with his consistency at the top level over several years on the racetrack.
00:08Now, the millionaire son of Gunrunner is making an impression on breeders as he prepares to begin his stud career in 2026.
00:15We were tracking Sons of Gunrunner for a while. Il Miracolo was one that we liked his race record and we were following him.
00:30He has an interesting pedigree. He's out of a tappet mare. He was very competitive and talented.
00:36He won $1.1 million. He won or placed in eight graded stakes. He broke his maiden as a two-year-old at Gulfstream.
00:43He won by five and a half lengths, so he was very talented right off the bat, very precocious at two.
00:50He had miler speed. He won one turn and won over two turns. He had seven triple-digit feed figures.
00:58He's a multiple-graded stakes winner. He won the Smarty Jones at three and the Ghost Zapper at four.
01:05Late run from Steel Sunshine. Here comes Il Miracolo. It's a photo finish!
01:10Il Miracolo. He was consistent. He was sound. He raced often and made 23 starts.
01:17When you see him, I mean physically, he's a very well-made horse, so you can understand how he was able to stay so sound.
01:24He has a lot of substance, a lot of size, extremely good boned horse. You just don't see some of these horses nowadays with the type of bone that he has.
01:33Just a real strong horse. I think people, when they see him, they'll really like the physical.
01:39His pedigree is exciting for me. I love John Nayrud breeding and tartan breeding, so he's got three crosses of Fappiano.
01:48Of course, Fappiano is out of a Dr. Fager mare. He's got Holy Bull on the bottom.
01:54This horse will draw quite a few people that breed at Crestwood every year.
01:59And for the price range that Il Miracolo is in, he's going to be very competitive, especially if you're looking for a gun runner.
02:07We're a gun runner.
