Ridden by Zac Lloyd for Peter and Paul Snowden, Media World led at every call to hold the fast-finishing, $900,000 Snitzel colt, Monte Veebee by a neck with the I Am Invincible filly Canara back in third.

A $1,400,000 purchase for Yulong from the Fairview Park Stud draft at the 2023 Inglis Australian Easter Sale, Media World is among eleven yearlings purchased by Yulong at the sale by their flagship stallion.

Media World is the first foal of the top-class Epaulette filly Meryl, which carried the Myster Downs silks to victory in the BRC BJ McLachlan Stakes and Group III MVRC Scarborough Stakes.
