Bio
Racing for top-flight connections, Battalion Runner finished second in his career debut, and then won his next two starts by open lengths, recording back-to-back 108 Equibase Speed Figures, before making his stakes debut in the 2017 Wood Memorial. He led early in the Wood Memorial and battled gamely when challenged by Holy Bull Stakes winner Irish War Cry, but he could not match strides with that rival and settled for second.
The runner-up finish in the Wood Memorial guaranteed Battalion Runner a spot in the starting gate for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands.
