The Rising Moon
Malibu Moon, the 9 year old son of A.P. Indy is beginning to make a solid name for himself. After starting his stud career in Maryland at a price of $3,000, he has made the move to Kentucky. It was just announced that his 2007 stud fee will rise from $30,000 to $50,000. The few people that can recall the name Malibu Moon, know him as the sire of one time derby favorite Declan's Moon. Most horse racing fans have not realized that he is currently #32 on the sire list, and has produced 87 winners out of 210 foals of racing age (41%). He also has 14 stakes winners. I can go on and on telling you about his statistics. You may be saying to yourself "Baloo is crazy. These numbers are not that great". Let me remind you that he started his career as a $3,000 stud in Maryland. He was not being visited by the best and most quality mares. He has been producing great runners with average mares. Now that he is getting some respect, he is getting the dates with black type mares in the breeding shed.
Keep an eye out for the Malibu Moon's running in your hometown. They will help you cash a winning ticket!
