After topping the 2017 FTKOCT Yearling Sale at $700,000, the second-highest for a colt in the sales history, Broadway d'Oro (Medaglia d'Oro) gets his career started in a two-turn maiden special weight over the Gulfstream grass Wednesday.
The 3-year-old is a full-brother to two-time Grade III winner Golden Lad and a half-brother to MGSW and GI Kentucky Oaks runner-up Broadway's Alibi (Vindication) and MSW/GISP R Gypsy Gold (Bernardini). The John C. Oxley, Baccari Racing Stable and SF Racing colorbearer is the final produce out of the late stakes winner Broadway Gold (Seeking the Gold), herself a half-sister to GI Florida Derby winner and promising young sire Dialed In (Mineshaft). His third dam is champion Eliza (Mt. Livermore).
Broadway d'Oro's breeder, SF Bloodstock, purchased Broadway Gold, with this colt in utero, for $950,000 at the 2015 Keeneland November Sale. He was bought back for $475,000 as a Keeneland September yearling.
Broadway d'Oro, trained by Mark Casse, worked five furlongs in 1:01 3/5 (10/14) around the dogs over the Palm Meadows lawn Jan. 13. He was scratched from the rained-off opener on the GI Pegasus World Cup card Jan. 26. TJCIS PPs
