Runaway Ghost (pictured), a 5-year-old son of Ghostzapper who raced for the late Joe Peacock of San Antonio, Texas, has been retired from racing and will stand the 2021 season at Double LL Farms at Bosque, New Mexico.

Runaway Ghost was trained in New Mexico by Todd Fincher. A longtime supporter of New Mexico racing, Peacock bred the stallion, who is out of Rose’s Desert, a daughter of Desert God who won seven New Mexico-bred stakes from 2011-13.

Runaway Ghost earned $783,509 from 15 races in four states, including Kentucky and California, and his six stakes wins included the 1 1/8-mile, $800,000 Sunland Derby (G3) in 2018. The stallion is a half brother to Sheriff Brown, the winner of the February 9 Winsham Lad Handicap at Sunland Park.

Runaway Ghost’s stakes wins ranged from 6 furlongs to 1 1/8 miles. His Sunland Derby win earned him enough to points to compete in the 2018 Kentucky Derby (G1) at Churchill Downs, but a training injury he sustained while preparing for the race forced him to miss it.

Runaway Ghost will continue to be owned by the Peacock family, according to Joe Peacock’s son Joey. A stud fee has not been announced.
