Medaglia d'Oro juvenile colt wins on debut
Two-year-old colt Vancouver, the first runner from Medaglia d'Oro’s second Australian-bred crop, debuted with a fantastic win in the Listed Breeders’ Plate over 1000m at Randwick, October 4.
Jumping well and assuming the lead in the early stages, Vancouver was challenged strongly by the odds-on favourite Sooboog in the straight but proved too strong, winning by more than a length.
Bred by John Camilleri’s Fairway Thoroughbreds, Vancouver is the third Stakes winner for Listed-placed Danehill mare Skates who is the dam of G1 winner Juste Momente and Listed winner Captain Coltish.
Vancouver joins three-year-old colt Nostradamus as Australian-bred Stakes winners for Medaglia d’Oro who is the sire of 11 G1 winners in the northern hemisphere including Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra.
