Here is a rare opportunity to own a progeny of Pinatubo, Europe’s Champion 2 year old.

miRunners is thrilled to offer units in this outstanding Pinatubo x Brave Lass, sired by the unbeaten European Champion 2YO Pinatubo, this exceptional yearling inherits the brilliance, speed, resilience, strength and incredibly professional temperament of a sire rated 128—the highest for a two-year-old in 25 years. Pinatubo dominated his juvenile season, winning six straight races, including the National Stakes (by 9 lengths) and the Dewhurst Stakes, drawing comparisons to legends like Frankel.

At three, he proved his class with a Group 1 Prix Jean Prat victory and placings in the 2000 Guineas and St James’s Palace Stakes. Retired as one of Godolphin’s finest, he now stands at stud, passing on the elite bloodlines of Shamardal and a proven pedigree of precocity and class.

A bit about Brave Lass’s sire Medaglia d’Oro

Medaglia d’Oro, foaled on April 11, 1999, at Katalpa Farm in Kentucky, was sired by El Prado, the first son of Sadler’s Wells to make an impact in the U.S. He debuted at two in 2001, winning his first race at three before capturing the San Felipe Stakes and finishing second in the Wood Memorial. In the 2002 Triple Crown, he placed fourth in the Kentucky Derby, eighth in the Preakness, and second in the Belmont Stakes.

That summer, Medaglia d’Oro dominated the Jim Dandy Stakes by 13 ¾ lengths and finished second in the Breeders’ Cup Classic. At four, he won the Strub stakes by 7 lengths, Oaklawn Handicap, and Whitney Stakes, becoming the first horse to sweep Saratoga’s Jim Dandy, Travers, and Whitney. He retired in 2004 with multiple Grade 1 wins and runner-up finishes in two Breeders’ Cup Classics.

As a sire, Medaglia d’Oro produced champions like Rachel Alexandra, the 2009 Horse of the Year, and Golden Slipper winner Vancouver. In 2017, he sired seven Group 1 winners, a feat matched only by legends Danzig, Mr. Prospector, and Storm Cat.
