I always thought that El Prado - who sired very tough horses - would have worked well. Medaglia d&#39;Oro has had some group winning colts on turf, including a European group one winner out of a mare by Thunder Gulch, who did quite well in Australia.</p> <img src="http://cs.bloodhorse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=133128" width="1" height="1">http://cs.bloodhorse.com/blogs/truenicks/archive/2010/09/09/tree.aspx#133072Thu, 09 Sep 2010 22:54:14 GMTb1464f20-99eb-45e5-b651-41da03ecff36:133072avolos<p> Alan, thank you for the lovely article. It &#39;s fascinating the importance of the &quot;environment&quot; for stallions. </p> <p>Most shuttle stallions succeeding in one hemisphere, are not as well in the other, which has me wondering how good Medaglia D&#39;oro will be in australia?</p> <img src="http://cs.bloodhorse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=133072" width="1" height="1">
