Daughter of Wait a While by Medaglia d'Oro Brings $1,575,000 at FTSAUG

TDN MAGAZINE, The International Difference: Part III of A Painful Truth: "Welfare in Europe means to train the horse without any chemicals and make him race if he can face the challenge,” says France Galop's Dr. Roland Devolz. “In your country, welfare means to be allowed to use as many drugs as possible to ensure the horse will support training and race." Whose version is right? Part 3 of A Painful Truth examines North America's singular stance on medication. Download part three by clicking here.

FTSAUG hip 117	yearling F	Medaglia d'Oro--Wait a While	$1,575,000
Breeder: Arindel Farm (FL)
Buyer: Todd Pletcher, agent
Consignor: Three Chimneys Sales, agent for Arindel Farm

Trainer Todd Pletcher trained Wait a While to three Grade I wins, a $2.1 million bankroll and a title as champion 3-year-old filly. It appears he'll now train the brilliant gray's second foal, a daughter of Medaglia d'Oro named Wait No More, after signing the ticket Tuesday for hip 117 (walking video) for $1,575,000. That was the auction's highest price about a third of the way through Tuesday's second and final session. Three Chimneys Sales consigned the gray filly, a Mar. 10 foal, for breeder Arindel Farm. Arindel is owned by Alan and Karen Cohen, who acquired Wait a While for $260,000 as a juvenile-in-training and campaigned her.
