Medaglia
D’Oro (USA) has provided some smart two year-old winners this season for Godolphin
including Group II winning filly Tenley, who is closely related to this winner at
Bendigo on Friday.
Unplaced at her first start at Echuca, the James Cummings trained filly Frazil made
amends at the second time of asking, powering clear to win the 1400 metre
maiden by two and three-quarter lengths.
Frazil is the second winner from Sastruga, an Elusive Quality (USA) half-sister
to the dam of this season’s star filly Tenley, winner of the Group II ATC
Reisling Stakes.
Sastruga is a grand-daughter of Group I winner Skating from the family of
Golden Slipper winner Vancouver. She was sold by Godolphin at the 2018 Magic
Millions Broodmare Sale for $220,000 and her last foal for Godolphin, a filly by
Exceed and Excel called Glaciers has been entered for the Blue Diamond.
Godolphin have entered 13 youngsters by Medaglia D’Oro for the 2020 Blue Diamond
Stakes including youngsters from Blue Diamond winners Earthquake and Miracles
of Life.
