Not only do the Medaglia d'Oros Plum Pretty, Medaglia d'Amour, and Super Espresso start right next to each other in posts 8, 9, and 10 in the Ladies' Classic, but they could not havehad more different sales prices: Plum Pretty was a $130,000 2-year-old; Medaglia d'Amour, a $3,000 yearling; and Super Espresso a $1,100,000 yearling.
O.k., o.k., this was officially a stupid post, the sin of which I am now compounding by not leaving it as short as possible. It's a stupid post because all stallions have prices that run the gamut. I suppose the variation could differ by stallion, however, or the success rate in different ranges. For instance, I've noted that Cherokee Run's best horses tend to have been expensive. The question vis-a-vis the relevance of this post is if the variation and universal success in all ranges for these three Medaglia d'Oros shows much of anything, other than, I guess, that there was some hope in 2007 if you bought your Medaglia d'Oro yearling for $3,000. But this was supposed to be a cute post, anyway, and not a smart one.
