Gunner’s Gold lights up the board in Ohio

Gunnevera’s 10th winner of 2025 is Gunner’s Gold, a 3-year-old New York-bred gelding who surprised the handicappers with a $46 win payoff after breaking his maiden at Thistledown in his fifth start.

Luis Rivera was in the irons in the race at six furlongs and he rushed Gunner’s Gold out quickly, and settled him in second on the rail going to the first quarter, which went in :22.68. Rivera then sent him through on the inside and the gelding bred by Dorothy Bailin took the lead and continued on in front all the way to the wire, scoring by 2 1/2 lengths. The $50,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga purchase was clocked in 1:13.25 and earned a check for $7,860.
