Dec. 8: Bolt d’Oro Widens His Lead

by Margaret Ransom

Only Bolt d'Oro (Medaglia d'Oro) was represented by any runners on Wednesday and of the two to make the gate, one successfully reached the winner's circle and helped pad his sire's earnings total lead over rivals Justify and Good Magic. Halfway around the world, Tempesta d'Oro received a ground-saving trip at Abu Dhabi and slipped through a hole up the rail to win a one-mile Msw turf test going away in 1:38.67. He banked 48,000 Dirham ($13,070) bringing his sire's total to $2,481,778

At Turfway Park on Wednesday night, Moment To Shine was the public's heavy 4-5 choice in the 5th race but failed to live up to his role as favorite and finished ninth.

None of the top three will be represented by any runners on Thursday, but Friday will be a busy day for Bolt d'Oro with six entries at tracks from coast to coast. Justify and Good Magic each have a single entry on Friday.

Note that Japanese earnings are added every Sunday night, and there may be delayed reporting from other countries, which could postpone the final results in a very tight race into early January. We will also be providing a preview of 2-year-olds entered the next day in North America and beyond.

Current Earnings Standings through racing of Dec. 7:

1st—Bolt d'Oro, $2,481,778

2nd—Good Magic, $2,446,087

3rd—Justify, $2,281,355

Caravaggio Relocating To Japan

Caravaggio (Scat Daddy–Mekko Hotke, by Holy Bull), the leading European first-crop sire of 2021, has been acquired by the Japanese Bloodstock Breeders Association (JBBA) and is set to continue his stud career at Shizunai Stallion Station, according to multiple published reports.

Trained by Aidan O'Brien for Mrs. John Magnier, Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith, Caravaggio was perfect in four runs as a juvenile, including a defeat of Mehmas (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) in the G2 Coventry S. at Royal Ascot and capped by a four-length success in the G1 Keeneland Phoenix S. His overall winning streak stretched to six when he defeated Harry Angel (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) by three-parts of a length in the 2017 G1 Commonwealth Cup during the Royal meeting and he added that year's G2 Flying Five S. ahead of a close third in the G1 QIPCO British Champions Sprint S.

Caravaggio covered his first three books of mares at Coolmore Ireland before heading to Ashford Stud in Kentucky. From his first crop of runners, he is already the sire of eight black-type winners, chief among them Irish and English highweight Tenebrism, a daughter of Immortal Verse (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}) who won last year's G1 Juddmonte Cheveley Park S. and added the G1 Prix Jean Prat this term. His other pattern winners include G2 Debutante S. winner Agartha (Ire), German Classic winner Maljoom (Ire) and G3 Snow Fairy S. winner Viareggio. Caravaggio's first-crop daughter Her World (Ire) earned the 'TDN Rising Star' distinction with a debut six-length victory in last year's Tyro S. for Wesley Ward. Overall, he has been represented by 78 individual winners, including seven in Australia.

At Shizunai, Caravaggio will join a lineup that already includes Animal Kingdom, Bago (Fr), Creator, Declaration of War, Eskendereya, Makfi (GB), Mischievous Alex and Noble Mission (GB).
