In Australia, Medaglia d’Oro has had a stellar start to his career of restricted numbers.
His
7 crops in Australia have been limited by the number of mares he has been allowed to cover with his average foal crop just
75 live foals per year.
Yet off these
relative low numbers he is a sire sensation with his progeny including
Golden Slipper Winner VANCOUVER and Golden Rose Winner ASTERN.
Medaglia d’Oro stands at Darley Stud for $110,000 Service Fee for the past 2 seasons and will stand again in 2017 for $110,000.

Winners: 124 (61.7%),
Wins: 307,

Its statistics like these that are the reasons why the professional buyers align themselves with the Champion Sires and Medaglia d’Oro is in that category.
Dynamic Syndications earlier this year purchased a super filly by the remarkable sire at the Magic Millions. We purchased her as a potential Classics Contender. A filly to aim at the Guineas, and the Oaks along with the Cups and even a Plate.
Since then she has continued to grow and develop into a spectacular filly.
Bred to be a sensation on the track with one of the best female families behind her and a pedigree page saturated in black-type success, our filly was one of the Best Valued fillies we have purchased in the last 5 years.
There is less than a handful of the top class USA sires who enjoy actual ongoing success as a sire in Australia.
Medaglia d'Oro
Darley Stud’s “Super Sire” Medaglia d'Oro, now has 645 Winners; 105 Stakes Winners; 61 Stakes Placegetters and most importantly, he has sired 19 Individual Group 1 Winners.
That’s a brilliantly high 25.9% Black Type Earners : Winners Worldwide ratio.
So in simple terms, if you own a Medaglia d’Oro horse that wins a race – it has a one in four chance of going on to be a Stakes Class horse.
His yearlings in 2017 sold for up to $2.4 million in Australia highlighting the keen commercial demand for his progeny world-wide.
