So you can further showcase the stallion that you purchased in early summer. If the Medaglia D'Oro's offspring can run on turf (and this one can along with Passion for Gold, who won the G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud) then you open up his progeny to another sector of buyers and breeders. Makes him a truly international stallion.
