Lot 641 bay filly Medaglia d’Oro – Channeled’s Lady (Channeled) $240,000 (draft: Phoenix Park)

A truly successful international stallion, Medaglia d’Oro (El Prado), in turn by Sadler’s Wells (Northern Dancer), is the sire of impressive Golden Slipper (Gr. 1, 1200m) winner now stallion Vancouver (Medaglia d’Oro), alongside nearly 250 stakes winners worldwide including 54 Group Ones.

Not only has he sired a Golden Slipper winner, but his colts have won Derbies and his fillies have won Oaks’ and Guineas’, while Astern, his sire son, was a brilliant racehorse and highest rated sprinter now making his mark as a stallion.

The sire line of Sadler’s Wells is legendary and Medaglia d’Oro carries it to the highest degree.

Dam Channeled’s Lady is a half-sister to Group One winners Grace And Power (More Than Ready) and Delectation (Shamardal), while another half-sister, Gracie’s Lass, has left dual Group One winner Artorius (Flying Artie).

“It’s not often we get the opportunity to buy fillies in this part of the world with the type of internationally proven blood that this filly has,” said David Ellis.

“Especially, as we can see from the pedigree updates since the catalogue went to print, with so many in the family performing at the highest black type level around the world right now.

“She’s a magnificent filly in every way, from her overall conformation and size, balance, fluid walk, very well muscled, and just a standout.

“She has incredible physical presence; you can see the quality and she’s an absolute Queen.

“We had to buy her and I think, given her pedigree and commercial appeal, she represents very good value at the price.”
