Hip 18, a filly by Medaglia d'Oro, sold for $350,000 early during the first session the Kentucky October Yearlings sale. The gray or roan filly was purchased by Steven W. Young, agent from the consignment of Baccari Bloodstock LLC, agent.

Medaglia d'Oro is the sire of female Horses of the Year Rachel Alexandra and Wonder Gadot, multiple Eclipse Champion Songbird, and current Grade 1 winners Cambier Parc, Elate, and Flit (AUS).

This is the immediate family of Grade 1 winner Kool Arrival and Grade 1 placed multiple graded stakes winner Klassy Kim.
