Medaglia D’Oro Winner Entered for Derby

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday October 7
The Godolphin runners have been unstoppable of late with the winning run continuing at Ballarat on Wednesday with staying bred Medaglia D'Oro (USA) colt Macarthur.

Medaglia D'OroHe cast off maiden status when scoring over 1600 metres at his third start and is entered for the Group I VRC Victoria Derby at the end of the month.

Trained by John O'Shea, Macarthur is the third winner for Commands mare Melodramas, an unraced three-quarter sister to Group I VRC Victoria Derby winner Arena from Group I South Australian Oaks winner Lee's Bid.

It might look a stiff task to get to the Derby from winning a maiden today, but given the staying pedigree nothing would surprise!

Melodramas is no longer with Darley having been on-sold in 2014 for $42,000 at the Inglis Broodmare Sale and has foaled this spring producing a colt by Dawn Approach (IRE).
