The mare arrived last weekend in Kentucky, circling back to her birthplace all the way from Thailand, where Irwin tracked her down this winter with the hope that a spot in Medaglia d’Oro’s book would become available.

Irwin asked Darley Stud’s director of sales to let him know if something opened up.
