Expatriate second-crop sire Spun to Run sired his first black-type stakes winner and his first graded stakes winner when his 3-year-old daughter Hela captured the Oct. 11 Fernando Coloma Reyes (G2) at Hipodromo Chile.
Bred by Haras Porta Pia and owned by Stud Carvatero, Hela captured her first stakes after three previous placed finishes in graded stakes, including a third in the Tanteo de Potrancas (G1). She now has two wins and five thirds from nine career starts. She is trained by Mario Covarrubias.
Spun to Run, a 9-year-old grade 1 winner by Hard Spun , captured the 2019 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1) and that same year placed in the Cigar Mile Handicap (G1) and Haskell Invitational Stakes (G1). He entered stud at Gainesway in 2021 and shuttled twice to Chile in 2021 and 2022. He was sold during the summer of 2025 to a farm in South Korea and has been exported. Of his four stakes performers so far this year, three are racing in Chile and include grade 1-placed winner Pimpazo and stakes-placed winner Wallace.
Hela is out of grade 1-placed, grade 2 winner Sigue Regaloncita, who is a daughter of the Giant's Causeway son Morning Raider.
Spun to Run has sired 72 career winners. His only stakes performer in the United States so far is Midnight Humor, who was runner-up in the 2024 Texas Thoroughbred Association Futurity.
