Two-year-old
Medaglia D'Oro filly New Money Honey captured
the one mile Group I Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Santa Anita to
become the 16th Group I winner for her superstar sire.
New Money Honey broke alertly and settled in a
stalking position throughout most of the race before making an impressive move
through the stretch to take the lead and win by a half-length over Coasted.
New Money Honey became a G1 winner in just her third career start, having
broken her maiden in her previous start when winning the G3 Miss Grillo Stakes
at Belmont Park on October 2.
New Money Honey was bred in Kentucky by WinStar Farm, LLC, and was purchased
for $450,000 at the 2015 Keeneland September Yearling sale.
She is out of the Distorted Humor mare Weekend Whim, a full-sister to Any Given
Saturday, winner of the G1 Haskell Invitational, and a half-sister to Bohemian
Lady, winner of the G3 Cicada Stakes.
New Money Honey is fourth Group I winner in 2016 for Medaglia D'Oro, along with
multiple G1 winner Songbird and G1 Donn Handicap winner Mshawish in the USA and
G1 Golden Rose winner Astern in Australia.
Medaglia d'Oro stands at Kelvinside for a fee of $110,000 inc GST.
