Eclipse Champion Sprinter Runhappy sparked the public’s attention after taking the Grade 1 King’s Bishop at Saratoga in stakes-record time, earning a lofty 113 Beyer. He followed that up with a heroic win in the slop in the Grade 2 Phoenix Stakes at Keeneland before a track-record performance in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Sprint. He continued to flash his natural talent in the Grade 1 Malibu to cap off a perfect 3-year-old season. Runhappy retired with seven wins in ten lifetime starts, and never raced on medication. By Kentucky Derby winner SUPER SAVER, Runhappy’s first in-foal mares sold for as much as $325k, and his first weanlings for $250k.
