Report: Stradivari Scheduled For Surgery On Tuesday by Paulick Report Staff | 07.25.2016 Stradivari, the 3-year-old Medaglia d'Oro colt that was injured during a workout July 22, is scheduled to have surgery Tuesday to repair his right front ankle. The Daily Racing Form reported that the surgery will take place at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Saratoga. The Todd Pletcher trainee suffered a lateral condylar fracture and an axial fracture of a sesamoid in his right foreleg as he was galloping out after a work on Friday. “Everything appears favorable,” Pletcher told the DRF. “Knock wood, everything has gone as well we could hope.” http://www.paulickreport.com/news/thoroughbred-racing/report-stradivari-scheduled-surgery-tuesday/
Sid Fernando + Obser @sidfernando August 20 2016 It's a compliment to Medaglia d'Oro that his daughter Songbird is being compared to his daughter Rachel Alexandra. Both from Forty Niner..
Songbird's rise has simply given more credence to how wise a choice MdO is for Zenyatta And while his fillies are definitely his top performers: His colts are nothing to scoff at. So either way, he provides Zenyatta with a very good chance at a solid legacy.
If it is a filly, hope it has the unusual marking on her face as does Rachel. Should be some girl with this pedigree. And the MdOs seem to be pretty sound.

Also, although a bit old, I found this story about Dundee, a son of MDO, who found a second career in dressage.
