It was no fluke that the market went ballistic for yearlings of new
BOOM SIRE – MEDAGLIA D’ORO over the past few days.
The Darley Stud based MEDGALIA D’ORO is making every post a Winner in recent weeks in Australia and there could be even more success for the stallion over the weekend where he has 5 progeny lining up in Black Type events:
R 1 Sydney – Listed Fernhill Handicap 1600m – Chachapoyas $7
R 2 Sydney – Listed South Pacific Classic 1400m – Federal $2.7
R 4 Sydney – Gr3 Percy Sykes Stakes 1200m – Sempre Libera $6.5
R 5 Sydney – Gr2 Arrowfield Sprint 1200m – Nostradamus $21
R 2 Adelaide – Gr3 SA Sires Produce 1400m – Battle Brewing $4.4
MEDAGLIA D’ORO was the LEADING SIRE on MEDIAN PRICE at this week’s Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale where 7 of his yearlings were offered and sold for staggering
MEDIAN PRICE of $460,000 and an AVERAGE PRICE of $425,714 finishing only behind the two older proven Champion Sires FASTNET ROCK and STREET CRY in the battle for
TOP SIRE on AVERAGES.
In Fact, with
STREET CRY now deceased, he is actually in second position on
AVERAGE PRICE tally for Stallions which are active at stud.
MEDAGLIA D’ORO to date in Australia has produced: 22 Individual Winners of 32 Race Wins including 3 Individual Stakes Winners of 7 Stakes Race Wins and his progeny have earned $3,609,040.
That places
MEDAGLIA D’ORO a massive $753,945 ahead of his closest rival which is I AM INVINCIBLE who currently sits at $2,855,095. Then back in third position is Turffontein with $1,454,572.

Gai Waterhouse has already established an affinity with this breed which is seen through the deeds of
VANCOUVER and the very promising
Sempre Libera.
At the Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale independently we both selected as an ideal purchase the Filly by
MEDAGLIA D’ORO ex TRICK OF LIGHT – A Gr2 Winner of 6 Races.
Bred by Rick Jamieson’s GILGAI FARM – The breeder of BLACK CAVIAR.
So we joined foreces to ensure the filly found its way to
TULLOCH LODGE
GILGAI FARM are renowned as being one of the highest quality breeding operations in Australia. Co-incidentally, after purchasing the filly the stud advised that our filly had been reared in the same paddock
BLACK CAVIAR was raised upon.
Whilst it was important that the Dam of our filly was an outstanding racehorse and comes from a sensational family, the most exciting aspect is that she is bred on the exact same cross that has produced
Stakes Winners VANCOUVER and NOSTRADAMUS ; Stakes Placed FEDERAL and the very promising Sempre Libera.
They are all out of
DANEHILL Line mares. This is the same cross as our filly who is from a daughter of Danehill’s champion Northern Hemisphere sire son
DANSILI.
Dynamic Syndications released this filly for sale the Day before
VANCOUVER won the Golden Slipper.
Gai’s confidence in her then Slipper favourite was unyielding and Vancouver did the rest.
Since then the inquiry has been significant and we are well advanced in having this filly fully subscribed in the immediate future.
Don’t delay – with her
excellent commercial bloodlines, genetics, conformation and residual value our filly is the perfect fit for owners wanting to race the highest quality yearling with Australia's Leading Trainer.
