Malibu Moon Colt Cruises in Debut at Churchill

+RESILIENCY (c, 2, Malibu Moon–Here Comes Amelia, by War Chant) took all the play for his debut and rewarded his backers with a dominant win under the Twin Spires. Bet to 6-5 favoritism, the dark bay tracked the pace of a longshot from second through a :22.90 quarter and :46.97 half. Taking charge willingly at the top of the lane, the $250,000 Fasig-Tipton October grad spurted clear and finished full of run to score by five lengths in 1:24.61. Brockton George (Harlan's Holiday) finished well to be a clear second. The winner's dam is a half to seven-time Canadian champion and 1997 GI Breeders' Cup Turf hero Chief Bearhart (Chief's Brown), as well as GISW Explosive Red (Explodent). Sales History: $250,000 Ylg '15 FTKOCT. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $34,800. O-Jeff Drown & Anthony Mitola; B-JSM Equine LLC & Greathouse Horse Property LLC (KY); T-Steven M.
