Medaglia d’Oro Filly Gets the ‘Gold’ at Churchill

[Wandering Eyes]

DREAM LITH (f, 2, Medaglia d'Oro–Elle Sueno, by Street Cry {Ire}) broke through at the graded level Saturday to post a 9-1 upset in Churchill's GII Golden Rod S. The dark bay sat off the pace early and rallied down the center of the track to collar pacesetting Yuugiri (Shackleford) en route to a 3/4-length decision. The runner-up is out of a mare by Dream Lith's sire. Belying 36-1 odds when she took her Saratoga sprint debut in August, Dream Lith was fifth behind unbeaten superstar Echo Zulu (Gun Runner) in the GI Spinaway S. Sept. 5 and dead heated for the same spot in Keeneland's GI Darley Alcibiades S. around two turns Oct. 8. She was sporting blinkers for the first time Saturday. Dream Lith was produced by a daughter of 2009 GI Darley Debutante heroine Mi Sueno (Pulpit). Sales history: $590,000 RNA wnlg '19 FTKNOV. Lifetime Record: 4-2-0-0.
