 December 20, 2017 – Oklahoma City – After reaching the nine-million-dollar mark earlier this year, NRHA Hall of Famer, the late Gunner (AQHA Colonels Smoking Gun, APHA Colonels Smokingun), has reached another milestone. At the 2017 National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) Futurity & Adequan® North American Affiliate Championship Show, he became NRHA’s second Ten Million Dollar Sire.
