There is no doubt that The Big Gun has royal bloodlines but he is also unique and priceless on his own. The Big Gun is a World Champion, a Reserve World Champion, a multiple Derby champion, a money earner and a point earner. Out of over 270 Gunner foals, there are only a handful of Tobiano sons of Gunner. The Big Gun is the only Gunner foal who is a breeding Bay Tobiano Stallion and the only one with his titles, accomplishments and heritage.
