Medaglia d'Oro's Spectroscope Graduates For Godolphin At Chantilly

2nd-CHY, €25,000, Mdn, 4-24, 3yo, c/g, 10fT, 2:06.13, g/s.

SPECTROSCOPE (c, 3, Medaglia d'Oro–Diamondrella {GB} {MGISW-US, $825,808}, by Rock of Gibraltar {GB}), runner-up going one mile in a firsters' heat on the artificial surface here last time Mar. 22, made good advantage of his inside draw and was well away to claim an early lead along the fence in this turf debut. Enjoying a cosy buffer for the most part, the crowd's 6-4 choice was shaken up when threatened inside the final quarter mile and came under a late drive to hold the closing thrust of Dance of Life (Fr) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) by a neck. The $375,000 KEESEP yearling, a half to a 2-year-old filly by Distorted Humor, is out of the GI Just a Lady S. and GI First Lady S. victress Diamondrella (GB) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}), herself a half-sister to MGISP Bonnie Blue Flag (Mineshaft). Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, €17,500. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
