Multiple Graded winner Enticed joins sire Medaglia D'Oro on Darley US roster

Enticed, a multiple Graded Stakes-winning son of Medaglia D’Oro out of three-time Grade 1 winner It’s Tricky, has been retired from racing and will stand the 2020 breeding season at Darley’s Jonabell Farm in Kentucky.

The four-year-old will command a fee of $10,000, stands and nurses.

Enticed, who raced for Godolphin under the care of trainer Kiaran McLaughlin, broke his maiden on debut at Saratoga as a two-year-old and was placed in the Grade 1 Champagne before capturing his first Graded Stakes in the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill Downs.

He returned at three to win the Grade 3 Gotham at Aqueduct, earning a 95 Beyer, before finishing second to Vino Rosso in the Grade 2 Wood Memorial.

Enticed is the second foal out of Godolphin’s top-class racemare It’s Tricky, a daughter of Mineshaft who was also conditioned by McLaughlin. Her victories included the Acorn, the Coaching Club American Oaks and the Ogden Phipps.

She was also placed in the Breeders’ Cup Ladies Classic, Alabama, Beldame and Personal Ensign during a stellar career in which she earned over $1.6 million.

Enticed’s sire Medaglia D’Oro is having another terrific year with four new Grade 1 winners in 2019, bringing his career total to 25.

His top performers this year include Pacific Classic winner and Breeders’ Cup Classic contender Higher Power, plus Del Mar Oaks and Queen Elizabeth II heroine Cambier Parc.

Medaglia D’Oro also continues to be one of the most in-demand sires at the sales with 16 million-dollar yearlings in the past four years, a number that can’t be matched by any other stallion.

Darren Fox, Darley’s sales manager in America, said: "We're extremely excited to stand Enticed at Darley. It's a very special situation really.

"A Godolphin homebred, by Medaglia D’Oro, and out of Godolphin’s multiple Grade 1 winner It’s Tricky. Add to all that, he is physically outstanding and we think he represents great value for breeders with a lot of upside.”

McLaughlin said “It’s Tricky was one of the best fillies I ever trained. It was so special to have a son of Medaglia D’Oro out of her show so much talent. Enticed was a very smart horse that really did everything right.”

Enticed will be available for inspection at Jonabell Farm’s Open House during the November sales, from Tuesday, November 5, to Friday, November 15, from 1pm to 3pm daily.
