Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 5, 2018 Journalists Share Posted October 5, 2018 Godolphin homebred Lady Montdore (Medaglia d’Oro), two-for-two on these shores since shipping in from France, looks for her third straight victory in Sunday’s GI Flower Bowl S., a ‘Win and You’re In’ for the GI Breeders’ Cup F/M Turf. Third in the G3 Prix Minerve at Deauville under tutelage of Andre Fabre last summer, the daughter of the talented Hystericalady (Distorted Humor) easily defeated next out Dueling Grounds Oaks heroine Osare (Medaglia d’Oro) while clearing her first allowance condition in her first start this season at the Spa Aug. 6. Lady Montdore showed signs of heat distress immediately following that impressive performance, but was apparently no worse for wear and bounced back in style with a front-running tally in the GII Glens Falls S. there Sept. 1. “She’s got a light frame and was just kind of light in general, but as I started to train her more and more, she started to get my attention,” trainer Tom Albertrani said. “We got to really liking her as we got closer to starting her. I think it just took some time for her to really mature.” The New York-bred Fourstar Crook (Freud), six-for-seven over the Belmont lawn, is the morning-line favorite at 7-5. The 6-year-old bay sandwiched a narrow win over MGISW stablemate Sistercharlie (Ire) (Myboycharlie {Ire}) in the GII New York S. here June 8 with runner-up finishes in the GI Coolmore Jenny Wiley S. at Keeneland Apr. 14 and GI Beverly D. S. at Arlington Aug. 11. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
