Medaglia d'Oro

7th-LRL, $41,320, Msw, 11-27, 2yo, f, 6f, 1:12.52, ft.

+I LIKE TO WHIM (f, 2, Medaglia d'Oro–Weekend Whim, by Distorted Humor), a $625,000 FTSAUG yearling purchase, posted a steady diet of five-furlong drills at her trainer's Fair Hill Training Center base and sharpened up for this career unveiling with a bullet four-panel breeze in :49 flat there Nov. 25. Let go at odds of 5-1, the bay emerged from the gate without incident and settled into stride on the outside as Glad Your Back (Speightstown) showed the way through a quarter-mile in :23.41. Sent up four wide under confident handling on the turn, I Like to Whim drew clear in the lane and reported home two lengths clear of fellow first-timer Great Soul (Great Notion). The winner's dam, a half to GISW Any Given Saturday (Distorted Humor), produced a filly by Medaglia d'Oro last year and was bred to Pioneerof the Nile. Sales History: $625,000 Ylg '14 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $22,800. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
