$2.6 million yearling Gun It - by Tapit out of Miss Besilu - debuts in Churchill nightcap Sunday

Missbesilu

Gun It, a Tapit colt who sold for $2.6 million last September at Keeneland, debuts in the last race at Churchill Downs on Sunday in what seems a talented maiden race. Now 2, he has been training swiftly at Churchill for trainer Steve Asmussen.

Owned by Mandy Pope's Whisper Hill Farm and Three Chimneys, he is the first foal out of the Grade 1-placed Medaglia d'Oro mare Miss Besilu - who comes from a nice female family. The pedigree is attached.

7-2 on the morning line, he faces a stern test in Sunday's 11th, matched against colts with racing experience and starting from the far outside post going 1 1/16 miles. 

Favored at 6-5 is Harvey Wallbanger, who after a distant runner-up finish to eventual Champagne winner Complexity, returned to be second again, edged by a nose, in a Keeneland maiden race Oct. 7.
