What the Nation is saying about Medaglia d'Oro...

Sorry, but if you say Groundhog Day to me, I think of the 1993 Harold Ramis film titled the same, starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell, way before I think of the chubby rodent from somewhere in Pennsylvania. I like movies, what can I say. If you’ve never seen it, by all means rent it and hunker ...Read More

Two major dispersals, one of which included the $8.5 million racing or broodmare prospect Royal Delta, helped create big surges in business at the Keeneland November breeding stock sale. The auction ended its 11-day run in Lexington Nov. 17 with increases of 41.5% in gross revenue, 62.2% in average ...Read More
There is much fertile land in the Ireland region known as the “Golden Vale” that Sadler’s Wells called home since 1984. This fertility certainly was indicative of the illustrious stud career that would follow for Coolmore’s most prized stallion.Read More

  • MarcelloMarocco · Everything of Northern Dancer was Amazing :) Northern Dancer brought a Boom to the Breeding industry and when Coolmore Bought up a bunch of Dancer's Yearlings at Windfields Maryland facility that EP Taylor bought, and Built to cater Northern Dancer to the World. I read a while back that you could walk into Windfield's Stallion barn, and read the list of dignitaries who have purchased Northern Dancer offspring was astonishing at that time.

A day after the Keeneland September yearling sale topped its 2010 gross with five days to go, the ninth day of selling was up over last year. And the importance of that development goes far beyond the numbers. “The sale is far enough along now, and I think it’s a piece of good news for an industry t...Read More

Conventional wisdom said Fasig-Tipton's select yearling sale at Saratoga would be a cross between a major setback and a bloodbath. Thankfully for Thoroughbred breeders, conventional wisdom isn't always right.Read More

  • LAZMANICK · DeadHeat……….I’m not trying to argue with you and I’m no saying that you commented one way or another. I just wondered if you had ever heard of anyone calling the Travers Saratoga’s signature race. Regarding the fields for the Haskell. They seem to be getting deeper with talent in the past few years than they used to be and I think that one reason is the 9F distance. I also agree with Mike that the Travers is the greatest race for three year olds outside the Triple Crown. The Haskell to me has always been like a Blue Grass or a Florida Derby or a Wood Memorial, a top G1, but not on the same level as the TC races and the Travers. · 197 days ago ·

  • DeadHeat · I have heard it called that and I most certainly believe in that name. However, I would disagree with you on the level of the Haskell. I would actually liken it to the Preakness, the baby child when standing next to the Derby which has so much age and prestige. While it still draws some wonderful deep and talented fields, it in no way can be called equal to the Derby. · 197 days ago ·

  • DonVeronneau · Thanks Brian, for the wonderful words and the great tribute to one of Thoroughbred's finest fillies. I first saw her at Belmont in the Mother Goose, and from there on I was hooked on this champion. I tried to attend every race she entered in the East, the Lady's Secret at Monmouth, the Woodward at Saratoga, and what was to be her final competition at the Spa, the Personal Ensign. I loved this horse so much I was willing to travel almost any distance to see her. No human could make me do that, except maybe the Pope. Thanks for the wonderful memories and helping me to relive the excitement and the awe of Rachel's Woodward win. · 245 days ago ·

The only horse in the history of Saratoga to win the Jim Dandy The Travers and the Whitney
Medaglia D'Oro was a Verrrrry consistent animal. He was only out of the money about twice, and other than that he was 1st or 2nd in all of his races.

  • mshutty · Great blog, Brian! Welcome to HorseRacingNation! Really like this list you have put together. Keep an eye on Zazu, She's gangly, clumsy sort right now but she's all power and when she matures a bit and puts it all together, this will be a good one. She's fun to watch race. · 364 days ago ·

  • KyOaksRunner · Thank you very much! I love Zazu and think she is maturing at exactly the right time, I love how she seemed to improve with each of her last races in such easy progression. If she ever gets into the starting gate with Dancinginherdreams it could be a really nice race to watch, both closers and both appear white. · 364 days ago ·

My profile name is a catchy idea for a for a name. It's to be a filly by him, and her name will be Thea [As in the pretty girls name] and D'or [An abbreviation of his name] It will be Thea D'or! xD Like Theodore.
