Medallist
MEDALLIST is a goldmine for winners and stakes performers!
He immediately topped the sires lists when ranked as the Mid-Atlantic’s leading freshman sire, and topped the region’s second-crop sires by number of stakes winners.
He is the sire of 77 percent starters from named foals, and 79 percent winners from starters! His 22 stakes horses include New York-bred champion IBBOYEE, an earner of $701,822 who is credited with a dozen stakes wins or placings, 13-time stakes winner DUBLA GOLD and 2017 stakes winner WINNING THE MEDAL.
His runners have $70,000-plus in average earnings, one in five have earned six figures, and nearly 15% of his runners are stakes horses. MEDALLIST proved his brilliance with wins in the Withers S.-G3 and Dwyer S.-G2, and equaled a track record in Gulfstream Park’s Deputy Minister H.-G3.
A son of classic winner touch gold, he is a half-brother to Gr. 2 winner AIR COMMANDER and Gr. 2-placed FORMIDABLE, out of a Gr. 1-placed stakes winner SANTARIA, a daughter of champion sprinter STAR DE NASKRA.
