Thanks to his graded stakes-winning treble with Untapable, Race Day and Divining Rod, the U.S.’s highest-priced stallion Tapit now enjoys a lead of over $1.4 million over Candy Ride in the
race to be America’s leading sire for a second time. There were also notable successes for War Front and Medaglia d’Oro, the other American stallions who command fees of more than $100,000. War
Front added another Grade I winner to his tally with Jack Milton, while Medaglia d’Oro may have won a few European converts following the dramatic G3 Prix de la Grotte success of his daughter Mexican Gold. Remember, five of the last 10 winners of this Group 3 event have gone on to success in the G1 French 1,000 Guineas.
