Waterville Lake Stable’s homebred colt, Sea Foam, took command right out of the starting gate and turned back a late challenge from Spectacular Kid to win the New York Derby at Finger Lakes by three-and-one-quarter lengths 21 July.
The three-year-old son of Medaglia d’Oro earned his second Stakes victory in the New York Derby; he concluded his juvenile season with a sharp win in the Notebook Stakes at Aqueduct last November.
Sea Foam was bred in New York and is out of the Unbridled’s Song mare, Strike It Rich, winner of the G3 Boiling Springs Stakes. Strike It Rich is out of Belle Of Perintown, winner of the G2 Silverbulletday Stakes and Listed Pocahontas Stakes, and she is a half-sister to Stakes-placed Sumptuous, dam of Great Stuff, winner of the 2018 G3 Toboggan Stakes.
In addition to Sea Foam, Medaglia d’Oro is also the sire of 2018 Stakes winners Gyllen (G2 Prix Eugene Adam), Elate (G2 Delaware Handicap), Bolt d’Oro (G2 San Felipe) and Enticed (G3 Gotham). The stallion is also the sire of Champion filly Wonder Gadot, recent winner of the prestigious $1,000,000 Queen’s Plate.
