Some people might not remember this - but Medaglia D' Oro actually broke his maiden at Oaklawn Park getting 6 furlongs in 1:11 flat and running a huge 101 Beyer. Dave Vance trained him.
He was bought privately by Frankel and won the San Felipe next out at something like almost 10/1 odds. The mightily overrated Siphonic was creamed in the betting that day and totally lost all chance at the start.
