Bran finished third, beaten by less than a length, next out in the Wickerr Stakes July 24 at Del Mar. He then shipped to Kentucky Downs for the $1 million FanDuel Turf Sprint Stakes and posted an upset win, paying $25.56 for a $2 win bet, while setting a new course record of 1:07.41 for six furlongs to earn an expenses-paid berth in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint Nov. 5 at Keeneland.
Bran is campaigned in the U.S. by the successful owner-trainer partnership of Hronis Racing and John Sadler.
