Medellin, NY Bred filly by Japan out of Haggith by Thunder Gulch
The Final Furlong Team has always found great value in New York sired New York breds and this yearling filly by Japan is no exception. Medellin has been growing up in Ocala at Rice Horse Farm and has already started her preliminary breaking training. The Rice’s report Medellin is intelligent with an alert mind but turns her aggression on and off based on what is being asked of her on the farm. She will be very eager to go to work and learn her lessons but then relaxes in her stall and out in the paddock.
Medellin is a strong made filly that is well put together. She is perfectly correct and has a great walk and motion. Medellin has always had a well made shoulder with balanced angles. Her neck, withers and top-line all tie together elegantly which allows her to move efficiently and will give her good reach on the track. Medellin has a strong hip and is shorter coupled so she should show a lot of speed, especially given her early February foaling date. We loved her balanced shoulder and hip angles and her pastern angles are also ideal.
Medellin is by freshman NY sire, Japan, who was a $300k Medaglia d’Oro yearling and got his career started with a 7 length score in a mile and a sixteenth MSW at Churchill Downs. Japan then came back to beat Stanford in the Easy Goer Stakes on the undercard of the Belmont Stakes. Japan finished his racing career with a third place effort in the Grade II Jim Dandy at Saratoga. An injury precluded Japan from contesting the Travers Stakes. Leading owner, Barry Schwartz, thought Japan was the most talented horse he had ever owned and decided to support him as a stallion.
Medellin is out of the Thunder Gulch mare, Haggith. Kentucky Derby, Belmont and Travers Stakes winner, Thunder Gulch, is one of the perennial leading broodmare sires in the United States. Haggith has produced two foals to race. Mahalo Malaki was a winner at three and The Mason Factor, her first NY Bred foal, just missed breaking his maiden last month at Belmont.
Medellin’s second dam is the Irish bred stakes winner, Mujado, who set a new course record sprinting on the turf at Delaware Park. Mujado is the dam of Grade I winner and half million dollar earner Joha, winner of the Dixiana Breeder’s Futurity and stakes placed in the Grade II With Anticipation and Grade III Saranac at Saratoga.
The cross of Medaglia d’Oro and Thunder Gulch has produced two Grade I winners with an impressive 73% winners and 14% stakes winners from starters.
Medellin with be trained by Jorge Abreu and run on the NYRA circuit.
