Mike Repole and Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners spent $900,000 for a son of Darley's Medaglia d'Oro , who is also a half brother to graded stakes winner Battle of Midway, who was also runner-up in the Santa Anita Derby (G1) and third in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1). The colt's dam is grade 1 winner Rigoletta, who is a sister to stakes-placed Evening Concerto.
The family has also produced champion sprinter Musical Romance.
